Priorities

• Review recommendation: CNPs should facilitate work to agree local priorities with a view to influencing Cornwall-wide strategies, and local service delivery mechanisms/projects

• CNPs can decide how to go about setting these (some have already begun this process)

• The agreed priorities will be reported to Cabinet/Portfolio Advisory Committees

www.cornwall.gov.uk

Priorities: Suggested approach

• Start with a simple list/process so priorities can be fed back - and the CNP’s influence felt – at an early stage

(Example: Liskeard & Looe’s discussion is with Members/local councils in the first instance)

• As and if required, develop this into a more detailed, medium to long term plan

(Example: Liskeard & Looe will then consult more widely on its simple list in an ongoing process)

Choosing priorities (1)

In deciding whether to adopt proposed priorities, CNPs may wish to assess how much influence they are likely to have on progressing them:

•Direct influence? (e.g. a project they can work together on within the CNA)

•Indirect influence? (e.g. an issue they need to lobby on by contacting an external agency)

•(Direct or indirect) A minimal or substantial influence? Or no realistic influence at all?

Choosing priorities (2) - examples

Priorities proposed to a fictional CNP for consideration

Assessment

(i) Several amenity areas across CNA need brightening up

Direct influence (high) e.g. Panel can work with schools to design murals to improve areas

(ii) Community concerns re need for improvements on major road to improve capacity/safety

Indirect influence (medium) e.g. CNP can lobby/engage with CC/Highways Agency

(iii) New major housing and shopping development proposed in CNA – no consultation to date

Direct influence (high) – Panel can host community consultation and feedback views

(iv) Concern re licensing hours given popularity of local towns as night-time destination

Indirect influence (low) – Panel can express view but would require change in legislation
