COMMUNITY PLANNING GUIDANCECOMMUNITY PLANNING GUIDANCE

(Local Government Scotland Act, 2003)(Local Government Scotland Act, 2003)

”It is particularly important that communities are

involved in the planning and delivery of services at a

local level, as it is at this level that agencies can

come together to work with communities to address

local problems and concerns in a way which cannot

be achieved at a Council-wide level alone.”
