People Objectives
B7. Community-led planning and development
Community-led planning has been at the heart of the Cairngorms National Park since it began in 2003 and many rounds of community action planning have been undertaken since, leading to significant changes in all the communities of the National Park.
There is a need to support communities through local community funding and this was previously delivered through the EU-funded LEADER programme. We want to ensure that the aspirations of communities are met, community resilience is enhanced and that a community development fund appropriate for the National Park is developed and in place during this plan period.
