A Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) for Cork City
Pure Cork - An Action Plan For The City
To achieve this, Cork City LECP aims to ensure inter-agency collaboration, connectivity and synergy between all the strategies and action plans at work in the city:
Public Consultation
Consultation processes have played a central role in the development of this LECP for the City. There has always been evidence of strong collaboration across agencies, social partners and the local development and community development sectors in Cork City. This LECP needs to represent a strengthening of these collaborations, allowing for shared ownership, policy consistency and the achievement of common goals for the good of the city. The consultation process involved in the formation of the plan, commenced early in 2015 and involved intense engagement with a wide and varied range of economic and community stakeholders at work in the City:
South West Action Plan for Jobs 2015–2017
Joint Cork City & County Housing Strategy (2009)
Cork City Walking- Strategy 2013–2018
Cork Smart Gateway Strategy
Regional Action Plan for Homeless Services 2013–2018 in South West
Joint Policing Committee Strategy 2016-2022

Economic Strand
Traveller Accommoda- tion Programme (2014–2018)
“Growing Tourism in Cork” A Collective Strategy 2015-2020
Cork City SICAP Ac- tion Plan
Cork City Centre Strategy
The economic elements of the LECP have been informed by the economic strategy in the Cork City Development Plan. Adopted in 2015 the City Development Plan was the result of an extensive consultation process. Similarly the economic elements incorporate existing strategies and plans, such as the South West Action Plan for Jobs and City Centre Strategy, which were informed by extensive consultation. In addition, workshops, stakeholder meetings and public consultation were used to generate a multi-agency input into what objectives and actions are needed to drive the economic element of this plan.
