Community Planning

 

 

 

Context

 

The Glasgow Community Planning Partnership (GCPP) brings key public, private, community and voluntary representatives together with the aim of delivering better, more joined-up public services in the city.  GCPP aims to makes sure that people and communities are genuinely engaged in the decisions made on public services which affect them, and to develop a greater commitment from organisations to work together in providing better public services.

GCPP has taken account of FSF allocations in setting its objectives to ensure that local priorities link clearly with the national targets of the Single Outcome Agreement with the Government. Glasgow’s priority themes are:

  • A Learning Glasgow
  • A Safe Glasgow
  • A Vibrant Glasgow
  • A Working Glasgow

 

Much of the work at a local level will be driven through Local Community Planning Partnerships.
