Facilitating community action for the future…
In 2018, we helped facilitate the Community Action Plan (CAP), to identify the priorities for the sustainable development of our community. The priorities expressed in the CAP are those identified by members of the community. The CAP is not specifically our plan, but a plan for the whole community!
The CAP has significantly influenced our work over the past four years. An example of this was the identification in the CAP of a need for more affordable housing, and our subsequent new homes project.
Community Vision for the area
Work on the Community Action Plan revealed the community vision for the Fort Augustus and Glenmoriston area.
Great community and recreational facilities and opportunities.
- Local access to high quality indoor and outdoor recreational facilities.
- Places where the community can come together for socialising, activities and events.
Sustainable population – housing and services
- Good mix of all ages with a growth in population to maintain local services
- Education, health and care services at the heart of the community
- More housing for the needs of the community and economy
Diverse economy and job opportunities
- A wider range of businesses, training and job opportunities
An attractive place to visit and stay and enjoy the wider area and outdoors
- A great tourist destination that has made the most of its natural and cultural heritage and its strategic location at the heart of the Great Glen.
A well connected community
- Better transport, better roads, faster broadband and better mobile reception
A green community
- More recycling
- Better access to renewable energy for households, businesses and community buildings
- Support for local food production
What are we doing now?
At the end of 2021 we facilitated a review of the CAP, working with local groups, members of the community and local businesses to update it and take into account developments and recently identified priorities, so as to meet more successfully the needs of our community.
