| What is your vision for the future of the Western Isles? |
02 October 2003 |
| Western Isles Residents are being asked to outline their vision for the future of the Western Isles by answering a questionnaire to be delivered to every household in the Islands. The Western Isles Community Planning Partnership has launched a Consultative Draft of the Community Plan. Community Planning aims to agree a shared vision and goals which will guide the development of policies and services in the islands. It is hoped that the Draft Plan will encourage people to participate in a positive debate about the future of the Western Isles. The Consultative Draft outlines a vision of where the islands could be in 2050 in general terms. Once a vision and priorities have been agreed, a more detailed action plan will be produced. It is important for the Community Planning process that as many
Western Isles residents as possible are able to get involved in
agreeing a vision and expressing their hopes and fears about the
future of the Islands. To enable this to happen questionnaires
will be distributed to every household within the next few weeks.
This will be an initial step towards collecting views. The process will continue throughout the coming year with involvement from the Partnership at a number of local events. Information gathered in this way will be used to strengthen next years Plan and to inform the action plans. Nigel Scott Tel: 01851 709389 (Work) |
