It represents extensive partnership working across the whole range of public services available to the area including health, education, public safety, housing, our communities, the environment and the economy. It is based on the Causeway Coast and Glens Community Plan which provides a long term vision and plan for the Causeway Coast and Glens area and all its citizens, setting out aspirations for a Healthy Safe Community, a Sustainable Accessible Environment and a Thriving Economy.

The outgoing Chair of the Community Planning Strategic Partnership, Alderman William King said: “The focus of the 44 actions outlined in the Delivery Plan is on achieving real outcomes for all who live, work and visit Causeway Coast and Glens. Participating in this process has been very rewarding, particularly through opportunities to work together with all our Community Planning partners representing a wide range of public services.”

Welcoming the Delivery Plan, the new Chair of the Community Planning Strategic Partnership,   Councillor Dermot Nicholl said: “We are confident that actions for delivery will address many of the main issues faced on a regular basis by individuals and communities across the area. It is our priority now to proceed with delivering these actions identified in the plan, and help realise our ambitions for a ‘Better Future Together’ in Causeway Coast and Glens.”

Launch of Causeway Coast and Glens Community Plan 2017 - 2030

15th June 2017

The first Community Plan for the Causeway Coast and Glens has been officially launched – marking an important milestone in the ongoing development of the region.

‘A Better Future Together – A Community Plan for Causeway Coast and Glens 2017-30’ was unveiled at an event at the Causeway Hotel.

Community Planning is one of the new responsibilities of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and its statutory partners, representing the whole range of public services available across the area including health, education, public safety, housing, our communities, the environment and the economy.

Keen to provide an opportunity for all citizens to ‘Have a Say’ in planning for the future, the Causeway Coast and Glens Community Planning Strategic Partnership has been actively engaging with a wide range of communities, groups and individual citizens over recent months. The process helped to develop a long term vision and plan for the Causeway Coast and Glens area and all its citizens which sets out aspirations for a Healthy Safe Community, a Sustainable Accessible Environment and a Thriving Economy.

Causeway Coast and Glens Easy Read Community Plan

CAN (Compass Advocacy Network) is a unique, user-led organisation of people with learning disabilities, based in Ballymoney. Their aim is to promote empowerment and advocacy for young people and adults with learning disabilities through local service provision of activities and work opportunities.

As part of ongoing Community Planning engagement activities, the Community Planning Team hosted some lively and informative participative events with young people and adults from CAN and other local organisations.  They told us about their ideas on delivery of local public services including their wishes to have an Easy Read version of the new Community Plan.

Causeway Coast and Glens Community Plan is a strategic framework document setting out the future aspirations for the people who live, work and visit the Causeway Coast and Glens area.

During the past 9 months Causeway Coast and Glens Community Planning Strategic Partnership have been involved in the development of a Community Plan for this area.  We have called it ‘A Better Future Together’ for Causeway Coast and Glens. This Community Plan provides a holistic and aspirational framework which concentrates on an ‘Outcomes Based Approach’ to achieving better outcomes for all who live, work and visit the Causeway Coast and Glens area.

In developing ‘A Better Future Together’ Community Plan, we have completed extensive consultation and engagement with individuals, communities and stakeholders who have actively assisted in developing this process.

The Community Planning Team would like to thank everyone who provided valued feedback and suggestions on the draft Community Plan and to all those who assisted in the process of developing the community plan to this stage. 

The final adjustments and amendments are currently underway and we look forward to sharing this with you in due course.
