COMMUNITY PLANNING GUIDANCECOMMUNITY PLANNING GUIDANCE
(Local Government Scotland Act, 2003)(Local Government Scotland Act, 2003)
”It is particularly important that communities are
involved in the planning and delivery of services at a
local level, as it is at this level that agencies can
come together to work with communities to address
local problems and concerns in a way which cannot
be achieved at a Council-wide level alone.”
