Community Planning Partnership
Community Planning
Community Planning is based on the simple idea that if we all work more effectively
together then public services will improve for those who use them.
Community Planning should start with the service providers, for example the Council,
NHS and Police, engaging with local communities and service users find out what
their needs are and then jointly agree priorities.
The next stage is to jointly design local services to meet these identified priorities
and ensure that they are delivered effectively.
This is done through a number of groups and theme partnerships that make up the
structure of the South Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership.
The Community Planning Board
The Community Planning Board is the executive and decision making body of South
Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership (CPP) and is chaired by the Leader of the
Council, Councillor Bill McIntosh. It makes decisions on strategic outcomes and
objectives for the CPP, the allocation of funding and partnership protocols. It
also has responsibility for the delivery of the Community Plan. A Better Future
Together, and the South Ayrshire Single Outcome Agreement.
