Place shaping

Place Shaping looks at how we can make our communities stronger and more resilient in the future through understanding what those communities have in terms of assets - buildings, green spaces, skills & knowledge, community groups, and public services. By understanding what our communities look like now, we will then be able to plan and work on any priorities identified so that our communities are equipped to deal with future changes in services and are ready and willing to take part and have a say in how those changes may affect them.

​

We ask people, for example, what works well in their communities and whether there are some things that they would like to change.  The results are then shared widely with those who provide services in our communities (i.e Local Councils, Police, Health and Fire Services) and those in charge of big developments.
