INVERCLYDE residents are being encouraged to have their say on their local priorities to help shape community plans.
People are being invited to take part in the online Community Choices consultation to provide feedback on four key themes previously identified by the public as being important.
The themes are: affordable before and after school childcare, your community, community safety, and learning in the community.
Residents are being encouraged to get involved through online platform inverclyde.communitychoices.scot
Paper versions of the consultation will also be available from libraries along with digital help.
To support the consultation, there will be a series of Community Conversation weeks in each of Inverclyde’s six locality areas delivered by the council’s community, learning and development service featuring online and in-person listening events.
Council officers and representatives from partner organisations who are part of the Inverclyde Alliance community planning partnership will be in attendance to answer questions and provide support to residents to have their say on the four key themes.
The first Community Conversation week is for people in Port Glasgow and there will be an in-person conversation at Port Glasgow Town Hall on Monday 28 October from 6 to 7pm.
A digital support drop-in session has also been organised at Port Glasgow Library on Thursday 31 October 2024 from 5.30 to 7.30pm to help people access the online platform and share their views.
Further Community Conversation weeks are scheduled for Greenock South and Southwest on 18 November and for Greenock East and Central on 2 December.
There will be more in early 2025, starting with Inverkip and Wemyss Bay on 27 January, Greenock West and Gourock on 10 February, and Kilmacolm and Quarrier’s Village on 24 February.
Community Choices and the Community Conversations events are an opportunity for people to provide their feedback and suggestions about the four themes which are linked to the six locality actions plans for Inverclyde and the Inverclyde Alliance Partnership Plan.
