Dunblane Community Partnership is holding a meeting for all community organisations in Dunblane to tell them more about the draft Community Action Plan, hear their views and how they can be involved.

On Monday 20 February at 7.30pm

In the Braeport Centre 

Get involved : We also want to discuss how community organisations could work together in the future. Let us know what you think! Does the draft Action Plan cover the important issues – have we missed anything? We want to make sure that more people can be involved in making the activity in the Action Plan happen. Please get involved – let us know the skills you have and what interests you.

Working groups : We are planning to set up working groups to take some of the actions forward – watch out here for more information. We will update this site regularly with news on what’s going on. We want to make sure that all households have a copy of the Community Action Plan once it is finalised– so look out for a copy coming through your door – or where you can get one.

Dunblane Community Council starts by finding out the views of the community.  This is done by surveys, a presence at events such as the fling, ongoing receipt of emails and facebook posts.

We establish and maintain partnerships with organisations throughout Dunblane and beyond.  These include Dunblane Development Trust, the schools and Stirling Council.  As well as hearing their views we acertain their capability to help us deliver our plan.

We develop, maintain and deliver (in conjunction with our partners) a plan for the local community

Role of Community Councils
Community Councils were set up as part of Local Government reorganisation in 1973

“to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area and to public authorities the views of the community which it represents in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible” and “to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable”. 

This gives a great deal of scope for community councils to get involved in a variety of local issues: to develop local projects and activities (on their own or with others), and to represent community opinion to local authorities and public bodies. If there is a local issue which concerns you, you are welcome to come to our meetings or contact us to tell us your thoughts.

Background legislation
The general purpose of Community Councils is defined in the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and in the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994.

Constitutional issues
The model constitution and model code of conduct for Community Councils can be found on the community councils’ page on the Stirling Council website.
