Llangattock Community Council has developed a strategy for how it would like the Council and its relationship with the community to develop.  It's set out in this graphic and below in text.  It is meant to be a 'living' document, which can develop over time.  We hope you will join us on this journey.

Shaping our community together

This document aims to describe the community vision and plan for Llangattock Community Council (LCC).

This document will be used:

• as a discussion document with the Llangattock community to share the Council’s aims and objectives over the next few years including future budget forecasting
• to gain local support for key activities and projects requested by the community
• for grant applications
• to celebrate the achievements within the local community.

Our Vision:

In partnership with residents and local groups, we will continue building an attractive, inviting, and secure community that fosters collective pride and resilience. We will do this by being a voice for our community, providing information to residents, and encouraging self-help and voluntary activities. We will plan for the future, support our local economy, and strive for an age-balanced community by helping to create opportunities for people of all ages. We will preserve and enhance the natural beauty of our environment through our actions and by encouraging positive contributions from others. We will raise funding wherever we can. Where the power to act rests with other external bodies, we will work with them to achieve our aims.

 Our Priorities:

Our priorities will be to ensure our community:

• Will be a safe place for residents and visitors alike
• Will feel listened to and involved in decision making that directly affects their families, the environment and future generations
• Will be inclusive, tolerant as well as embrace equality & diversity
• Will promote sustainability by strengthening our resilience to the impacts of anticipated climate & social changes and the risks they pose to our community
• Will become aware of the importance of biodiversity conservation and how it can enhance our health and wellbeing
• Will celebrate our culture history and heritage
• Will be the custodians of our natural environment
• Will celebrate our achievements and sense of community
• Will trust that our Community assets are valued, maintained and cared for

Our Pillars:

There will be 4 Pillars or strategies which will support the delivery of the LCC vision

• Culture and community
• Wellbeing
• Environment and the local economy
• Communication

Culture and Community:

Wellbeing:

Environment and the local Economy:

• Celebrating and protecting our cultural heritage and history
• Looking after our environment now and for the future
• Promoting sustainability and encouraging lifestyle changes that have a positive impact on our community.

Communication:

• Openness and inclusiveness in all communications
• Two-way communications between the Council and community

Each element within the pillars will be achieved through specific actions and activities detailed within a working plan which is supported by Llangattock Community Council’s Schedule of Delegation and Code of Conduct.

These ‘pillars’ support the approach of Powys CC in their Wellbeing Plan and the work they are doing through their 5-year plan.
