REGENERATION FRAMEWORK The Board considered a report (copies of which had been circulated) by the Community Regeneration Manager, WLC, providing an update on the progress made in developing a 20 year Regeneration Framework for West Lothian. An error was highlighted on page 2, section 2 of the report in that the PI indicator for the 2023 target should be 11% and not 113% as recorded in the report. The Community Regeneration Manager stated that a report had previously been submitted to the CPP Board on 10 June 2013 outlining the framework of the plan to reinvigorate and invest in West Lothian communities. Five key themes were outlined in the report which included Employability and Employment, Early Years and Family Learning, Health and Wellbeing, Economic Development and Community Capacity and Cohesion. Educational attainment was a key element within each of the five themes which was reflected in the Performance Indicators (PIs). The report went on the advise that the focus of the Regeneration Framework was to improve the life chances of the most disadvantaged with the broad definition used being residents of the worst 20% of datazones in West Lothian. Target indicators were provided in the report for short, medium and long term targets for people who were income deprived. The framework would be implemented and monitored at a local level through community owned Regeneration Plans, based on clusters of datazones in the worst 20% in West Lothian, which would detail how specific actions would be taken to identify and address needs in those individual communities. Progress in implementing the regeneration framework and supporting plans would be reported to the Community Planning Partnership Board on an annual basis. Ward Action Plans would also continue to be developed and reported to Local Area Committees, which would identify actions linked to local outcomes, outcome indicators and relevant SOA outcomes. During the question and answer session it was noted that West Lothian College welcomed the opportunity to be involved in the consultation with individual Community Planning Partners and development of the strategy. - 7 - DATA LABEL: Public 68 In conclusion, the involvement of Community Planning partners and the local community and voluntary sector would be crucial to the effective implementation and delivery of the framework. The timetable for consultation with individual Community Planning Partners on the final draft Regeneration Framework would be during the period 6 to 17 January 2014, which would be submitted to the CPP Board for agreement at its meeting due to be
