Next Community Choices events due to take place

The second of six Community Conversations is due to take place in Greenock from Monday 18 November.

It's part of the council's ongoing Community Choices consultation to provide feedback on four key themes previously identified by the public as being important.

The themes are: affordable before and after school childcare, your community, community safety, and learning in the community.

Residents are being encouraged to get involved in the first instance through the council's Community Choices online platform inverclyde.communitychoices.scot

Paper versions of the consultation will also be available from libraries along with digital help.

To support the consultation, there will be a series of Community Conversation weeks in each of Inverclyde's six locality areas delivered by the council's community, learning and development service featuring online and in-person listening events.

Council officers and representatives from partner organisations who are part of the Inverclyde Alliance community planning partnership will be in attendance to answer questions and provide support to residents to have their say on the four key themes.

The first event has already taken place in Port Glasgow. A face-to-face consultation will take place on Monday 18 November from 5pm to 7pm in Greenock South West library.

A digital listening event via TEAMS is on Wednesday 20 November from 6.30pm to 8pm and the following day, Thursday 21 November from 5pm till 7pm, a digital support drop-in will take place at Greenock South West library to support people filling out the online survey.

The next Community Conversation week will be in Greenock East and Central from December 3.

The Community Conversation: Face to Face will be held on Wednesday 4 December from 5pm till 7pm in Greenock I:Youth Zone, Nicolson Street, Greenock.

A Digital Listening Event is on Tuesday 3 December between 6.30pm and 8pm via TEAMS with a Digital Support drop-in on Thursday 4 December from 5pm till 7pm in Greenock Central Library.

There will be more Community Conversation events in early 2025 covering the remaining Inverclyde locality areas starting with Inverkip and Wemyss Bay on 27 January, Greenock West and Gourock on 10 February, and Kilmacolm and Quarriers Village on 24 February.

Community Choices and the Community Conversations events are an opportunity for people to provide their feedback and suggestions about the four themes which are linked to the six locality actions plans for Inverclyde and the Inverclyde Alliance Partnership Plan.
