We believe working with people and local organisations within our communities is vital to ensuring that North Lanarkshire fulfils its ambition as the place to Live, Learn, Work, Invest, and Visit.
The main feature of the new approach has been the establishment of nine Community Boards.
These boards will enhance and support community involvement and will provide a single approach for local community led decision making. We want the boards to be trusted, embraced and accountable to the wider community.
Community groups have a major role to play in making sure this new approach works and we are excited to be working towards this shared ambition.
These boards will meet several times a year and local people will be encouraged to get involved.
Each Community Board area will support its own website and social media channels to ensure progress is reported and important messages are distributed. Representatives from local community groups and community planning partners will be involved in the meetings looking at and debating issues that affect the local community.
North Lanarkshire Partnership in its role as the Community Planning Partnership will facilitate the Community Boards so there is a transparent link with public services, key local voluntary groups and our local communities.
