What is the Community Scoring Panel ? 

The Community Scoring Panel is made up of local community representatives who will be responsible for reviewing and scoring the Place Based Investment Programme (PBIP) applications.   The Panel will consist of six representatives, each selected from the following areas: Cumnock, Doon Valley, Kilmarnock, Irvine Valley and Annick ensuring representation from each area.  Additionally, the panel will include one young person.
