Conwy Kickstarter Plans
Facilitating community-led planning in Conwy
Background
Planning Aid Wales was commissioned by Conwy County Borough Council to help four Town Councils explore the development of community / Place Plans in the area. The project involved extensive community and stakeholder engagement in each of the four towns and resulted in the production of four ‘Place Plan Kickstarters’ plans that the communities can use as a foundation for further community plan development in future. The project also involved the creation of 6 guidance booklets to help the communities take their next steps.
Where was the value?
The project helped build the capacity of four community ‘working parties’ to establish and develop their own community-led plans. 23 engagement events and four dedicated websites were delivered in Llanfairfechan, Penmaenmawr, Llanrwst and Conwy, reaching 1,055 people, generating 13,797 votes and 3,537 comments on community priorities.
The plans produced include summaries of community priorities and action plans that the community groups can take forward. The 6 guidance documents will also support community planning activities in the County for years to come.
