Have your say to improve Inverclyde

The Community Planning Partnership, the Inverclyde Alliance, is calling on communities to get involved in tackling the big issues facing Inverclyde.

In the first of four events to be held in 2010, people will be asked how tackling depopulation and giving all young people the best start in life can be achieved.

These are two of the eight outcomes agreed for Inverclyde in its Single Outcome Agreement, which sets out how, in partnership with the Scottish Government, the Alliance will work towards improving the lives of local people.

There has been a lot of community input into the Single Outcome Agreement from events like this and we know how important it is to hear people’s opinions. Now we want the community to help us find the solutions to the major challenges that face in Inverclyde, starting by focusing on the issues of why people leave the area and what more can be done to improve the life chances of our young people.

The Community Plan Engagement Event will take place on Saturday 27 March 2010 at the Gamble Halls in Gourock between 10.30am and 2.30pm.

It will let people know how last year’s event has influenced developments and will also ask people how they can be involved in helping the delivery of the local outcomes for Inverclyde.

The feedback at this event will be used to map what the Inverclyde Alliance partners and local communities are doing to deliver the local outcomes for Inverclyde. With everyone pulling in the right direction we should achieve success in making Inverclyde a better place to live.

Everyone is welcome at the event and there are a number of ways people can get involved. Lunch will also be available.

There will be stalls with information and demonstrations from local organisations, so anyone who comes along can find out more about the range of services in the area. There will be a series of workshops you can be involved in.
