In March 2022, ten year local island plans were launched for North Ayrshire’s islands; the Isles of Arran and Cumbrae. Plans were developed with, and for, the island communities to drive the development of community, economic and environmental wellbeing. They form the foundations on which to:
- address long standing issues and challenges
- help maximise the potential of Arran and Cumbrae
Island communities were engaged with and at the heart of shaping the plans:
- residents
- community and voluntary groups
- young islanders
- businesses across sectors and size
- locality partnerships
- Elected Members for the islands
- partner organisations with an interest in the islands
The post of Senior Officer (Islands) was created within North Ayrshire Council to contribute to the ongoing development and delivery of islands’ policy.
You can find the plans for both islands on the Council website.
