The Project is funded by the Big Lottery Fund Reaching Communities Programme. The aims of the pack are to enable community and voluntary groups to better understand Community Planning, support them in their efforts to shape its design and implementation and to help them prepare for its introduction. The pack provides information on the current proposals for Community Planning and on how it operates in other countries. It also includes details of the new 11 District Council model, changes within the structures of the Health and Education Services and the structures for the delivery of a number of funding programmes. The contact details for urban and rural community development networks who provide advice and support to communities during this time of unique and unprecedented change are also provided. Our Supporting Communities in Community Planning Project is working with these networks to provide information for local community groups and to develop their capacity for engagement with Community Planning. We are also working with networks to develop models and examples of locally focused community plans. December 2013 Supporting Communities in Community Planning 3 Section 1 - Community Planning What is Community Planning? Community Planning is a relatively new term to the region and has recently come to the fore with the Review of Public Administration (RPA) and the Reform of Local Government. However in other regions including Scotland, England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland Community Planning has been implemented in one form or another for over a decade. Perhaps the most straightforward definition of Community Planning is provided by Audit Scotland in its Report "Community Planning: An Initial Review". It defines Community Planning as: "the process through which public sector organisations work together and with local communities and the voluntary sector, to identify and solve local problems, improve services and share resources". This definition is a great starting point, but in order to distinguish the different aspects of Community Planning proposed here from those elsewhere, it is important to understand the key elements of Community Planning, outlined by the then Minister of Environment, Arlene Foster MLA in a statement to the Assembly in March 2008. The Minster said key components will include: • an effective, statute-based Community Planning process; • led and facilitated by the new councils; • a clear statutory requirement on all other public bodies including policing, health and education bodies to participate in and support the Community Planning process; • a clear duty placed on councils to engage with local communities to produce a community plan. The table overleaf gives examples of how Community Planning has been described both here and in other countries where it already operates. The examples range from strategic views to local definitions. A list of useful websites is also provided. In order to fully embrace the potential for Community Planning, it is important to have an understanding of the overall decisions that have emerged from the Review of Public Administration and specifically those relating to local government. The following sections identify the key decisions and how they will impact upon communities at a local level. Supporting Communities in Community Planning 4 Section 1 - Community Planning What is Community Planning?

  • Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ
    Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ Dear Chancellor, Budget Measures to Support Hospitality and Tourism We are writing today as members and supporters of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Hospitality and Tourism ahead of the Budget on 3rd March. As you will of course be aware, hospitality and tourism are vital to the UK’s economy along with the livelihoods and wellbeing of millions of people across the UK. The pandemic has amplified this, with its impacts illustrating the pan-UK nature of these sectors, the economic benefits they generate, and the wider social and wellbeing benefits that they provide. The role that these sectors play in terms of boosting local, civic pride in all our constituencies, and the strong sense of community that they foster, should not be underestimated. It is well-established that people relate to their local town centres, high streets and community hubs, of which the hospitality and tourism sectors are an essential part. The latest figures from 2020 highlight the significant impact that the virus has had on these industries. In 2020, the hospitality sector has seen a sales drop of 53.8%, equating to a loss in revenue of £72 billion. This decline has impacted the UK’s national economy by taking off around 2 percentage points from total GDP. For hospitality, this downturn is already estimated to be over 10 times worse than the impact of the financial crisis. It is estimated that employment in the sector has dropped by over 1 million jobs.
