“The Partnership, the Community Panel, together with the Community Planning Partners, encourages everyone to read over the draft plan when it is published, and share their thoughts on it.

“The vision for Community Planning is that Mid and East Antrim will be a strong, vibrant, safe and inclusive community where people work together to improve the quality of life for all.”

Community planning is a new function, led by council, to improve the social, economic and environmental well-being of the area.

It involves the public, private and voluntary sectors working together in partnership to plan and deliver better services which make a real difference to people’s lives. See: www.midandeastantrim.gov.uk/resident/community-planning/what-is-community-planning/
