Role and responsibilities:
• To advise and assist on the development of the Socio-Economic statement setting out the draft High-Level Goals and Objectives. • The arrangement and management of an inclusive consultation process for the development of the economic elements of the framework LECP. • Taking account of the need to reduce duplication and unnecessary overlap and to maximise the use of available resources. • The integration of both the economic and community elements into a single, coherent Framework LECP. • Ensuring clarity as to where responsibility rests for leading/coordinating for each action. 2. Timeline As outlined below there are 6 stages overall in the development and implementation of the LECP. Once the Socio-Economic Statement including the draft High-Level Goals and Objectives are signed by the relevant statutory committees of the council (see list below), we will have completed the first stage.
Council committees responsible for the development and sign-off of the LECP:
LECP Advisory Group
•
• Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) • Community, Culture and Placemaking Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) • Strategic Planning and Economic Development Strategic Policy Committee (SPC)
In the next stage, we will then take these draft High-Level Goals and Objectives out to public consultation. This stage will see us carry out an extensive and inclusive citizen and community engagement where we will be inviting feedback and comment on the draft High-Level goals and objectives asking for suggestions of specific actions and any other issues that should be included in the plan. Inclusive consultation ensures the barriers that often prevent someone from participating in a consultation process are removed and a variety of opportunities to engage in a consultation process are provided. Following on from this stage, we will draft the final plan which will include a higher-level framework document and a separate action plan. This will be the first of three, 2-year action plans for the 6-year lifetime of the plan. The final adoption of the plan will take place in the fourth stage, in the third quarter of 2023 after which the actions will be implemented, monitored and evaluated continuously to 2029.
