What is a Community Action Plan?

Community Action Plans are integral to Community Planning in East Ayrshire. These are clearly linked with our Community Planning arrangements, giving local people and organisations a real voice and the ability to influence the decisions which have an impact on our own communities.

Working with Vibrant Communities

So far our Vibrant Communities teams have helped in the formation of 24 Community Action Plans, together with an another six partner plans which have also been launched across East Ayrshire. The decision about whether to develop a Community Action plan is entirely voluntary and rests with communities themselves. Vibrant Communities has given a commitment to support any community which wants to develop a plan.

We support local communities through a process which empowers and builds the capacity of local people and facilitates the development of a five year Community Action Plan.

  • Galston Community Development Trust, supported by Galston Community Action Plan Steering Group, has taken into consideration the contents of the East Ayrshire Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) and National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) (and local Community Action Plan) to draft a Local Place Plan for Galston.

     

    Please find attached draft Local Place Plan (and Community Action Plan that included the priorities) for your consideration as a local or neighbouring stakeholder, as defined in the Local Place Plan guidance

     

    The Local Place Plan engagement process was aligned with the Community Action Plan process. Surveys from at least 40% of local households were returned and spatial information was plotted onto a draft Local Place Plan map. This was checked at a local voting engagement event and replicated online. The community body then redrafted the Local Place Plan with the information supplied. The finalised version of the plan is made available online for comment for a further 4 weeks with final amendments made before submission to the Planning Authority.


    This will close on Monday 28th July.

  • This survey is led by and belongs to the community, for the community. It is designed to engage as many people as possible to create a Muirkirk Community Action Plan. The volunteers would appreciate if you could complete this survey digitally as a way of reducing workload in analysing.


    What is a Community Action Plan?

    Community Action Plan is about helping communities have their voices heard, realise their aspirations and lead on positive change and regeneration in your local area.


    What is this questionnaire? 

    We want to know your ideas about how to make Muirkirk a better place. Your input will help to inform and develop our Community Action Plan for the next 5 years, 2025-2030. 


    Why is it important? 

    The survey results will be used to help put together a Community Action Plan which will identify the main priorities for development in Muirkirk over the next 5 years. A Community Action Plan will help local groups to secure funding and support for the main projects and developments that people would like to see.  The Action Plan will also be the basis for the community making representation and working in partnership with East Ayrshire Council and other agencies and organisations.

     

    What happens next? 

     Your ideas and priorities will be presented to be voted on by the whole community. From your responses and votes we will establish the priorities and produce the Muirkirk Community Action Plan 2025-2030. 

     

    Who are “we”?

    We are volunteers from Muirkirk acting as a steering group to gather the views of the village, and from that produce and take forward our Community Action Plan. This work is supported by East Ayrshire Council, Vibrant Communities.
