Community Action Plans
In 2011, with the help of SKDT the first survey of households within the West Kintyre Community Council area resulted in the development of the Community Action Plan 2012 -2017.
This plan summarised and prioritised the issues that mattered most to our community and was our guide for what we have tried to make happen within the community over the recent past.
Some excellent ideas were put forward and incorporated into the plan for 2017-2023.
