The Report from the Networking and Planning for Change Three Conference.

Available below is the report from the North Down and Ards Communities “Networking and Planning for Change Three Conference” held on Friday, 26 March 2010 in the Somme Heritage Centre, Newtownards.

Conference participants discussed how we engage with our local communities, how we share this information and how we keep our local communities both informed and involved in the Community Planning process. A summary of the responses are outlined in this report.

The North Down Community Network, Ards Development Bureau & Community Network, and East Down Rural Community Network, in conjunction with Community Places and the Transition Committee will host a number of similar events over the next year. These events will encourage networking by local community and voluntary groups across the new council area of North Down and Ards. The dates are yet to be finalised, but it is envisaged that events will be held in autumn 2010 and spring 2011.

The local Networks together with Community Places will also continue to support communities in preparing for Community Planning through providing advice and information and supporting those who wish to prepare a local community plan for their area.

If you would like more information please contact Ards Community Network or Annie Clarke at Community Places on 028 9023 9444 or by email at annie@communityplaces.info.
