Each of the four administrative areas in С»ÆƬapp and Bute has an Area С»ÆƬapp Planning Group (ACPG).
Area С»ÆƬapp Planning Groups are local partnerships and are made up of representatives from statutory, private and charity/voluntary sector partners and local communities.
There are four ACPGs representing the four administrative areas of С»ÆƬapp and Bute: Oban, Lorn and the Isles; Mid С»ÆƬapp, Kintyre and the Islands; Helensburgh and Lomond; and Bute and Cowal.
The Area С»ÆƬapp Planning Groups were set up to help service providers and community representatives to work together to identify and prioritise local service delivery. They are an important part of the local decision making process and are seen as the way forward in providing better, joined-up services which are responsive to what communities want.
ACPGs aim to:
- develop and maintain Area С»ÆƬapp Plans within the С»ÆƬapp Plan outcomes
- monitor and review achievement of local outcomes using agreed performance measures
- support and encourage effective collaboration and coordination between community based organisations operating in the local area
- provide opportunities for local communities to influence decision-making and strategy
