Community Action Plan

A Community Action Plan has been agreed by the Strategic Partnership which has four principal themes namely:-

• Alcohol misuse
• Housing provision
• Employment opportunities
• Public health and wellbeing

The Strategic Partnership has set up themed task groups for every one for each of these priorities within the Community Action Plan.  The themed groups are responsible for the delivery of projects contained within the Action Plan.  Individual projects are now being identified.
