Community planning and development

What is Community Planning?

Community planning involves local agencies who deliver public services working together to make those services work better for local people.  Service agencies work together so that we can do a better job for local people than we could do if agencies worked on their own all the time.

You might also hear it referred to as “working together”, “partnership working” or “joint working”.

About the East Renfrewshire Community Planning Partnership

The East Renfrewshire Community Planning Partnership was formed in 1999.  

The aim of creating a Partnership was to bring East Renfrewshire Council together with other local public service agencies to work together to deliver high quality services in East Renfrewshire.

The following public service agencies are members of the East Renfrewshire Community Planning Partnership:

  • East Renfrewshire Council

  • NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, including the East Renfrewshire Community Health and Care Partnership

  • Scottish Enterprise

  • Skills Development Scotland

  • Strathclyde Fire and Rescue

  • Strathclyde Partnership for Transport

  • Strathclyde Police

  • Voluntary Action East Renfrewshire

All of the partners are committed to working in partnership to deliver high quality, co-ordinated services and improve quality of life in East Renfrewshire.
