OHCPP Community Engagement in Harris

Communities throughout Harris will have the opportunity to have their views heard on Wednesday 3 March as the Outer Hebrides Community Planning Partnership heads to Tarbert to stage a Community Engagement Event

The facilitated event will be held in The Harris Hotel from 7.30pm to 9pm and aims to garner the views of local communities, focusing on how Partnership Agencies and organisations can best fulfil a joint vision for the Outer Hebrides. This vision, detailed in the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA), looks at improving population balances, improving the economy; ensuring people are well educated, well skilled, well trained; improving health and wellbeing; strengthening local communities; making use of natural and cultural resources and continuously improving services.

Chair of the OHCPP, Angus Campbell said: “The OHCPP holds meetings throughout the Islands and I am delighted that we are coming to Harris. I would urge all individuals who have an interest in how their community develops to come along to Wednesday’s meeting. It is an opportunity to shape the means by which the Comhairle, the Health Board, the Enterprise Company and other agencies deliver for communities in the Outer Hebrides.”

Attendees at the Community Engagement Event will also hear an update on the development of the Health Board’s Clinical Strategy and have an opportunity to provide feedback

A similar event will happen in Lewis in the near future.
