The new plan outlining the shared priorities of all the members of the Clackmannanshire Alliance to help improve the lives of people living in Clackmannanshire was agreed by councillors today (3 October).

The Wellbeing Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP) 2024/2034 sets out the vision for Clackmannanshire over the next 10 years, defines the priorities that the Clackmannanshire Alliance will focus on, and sets out what differences partners want to see for Clackmannanshire by 2034.

Clackmannanshire Alliance is our Community Planning Partnership, and brings together the key organisations that can make a difference to people’s lives locally. Partners who worked together to develop the plan include Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Forth Valley, Scottish Enterprise, University of Stirling, Clackmannanshire Third Sector Interface and Clackmannanshire Council.

A central theme of the plan is a joint commitment to tackling the inequalities that exists locally through the delivery of a wellbeing economy for Clackmannanshire.  After listening to our communities and partners, the plan focusses on a small number of key issues that can make the greatest impact in Clackmannanshire. The plan recognises the importance of aligning Alliance partners’ resources on priorities that will drive long-term sustainable improvement over the next decade.

Improving outcomes lies at the heart of the plan, but it also acknowledges the many positive aspects of life in Clackmannanshire. The Council is already working collaboratively with partners to support local people, and the plan supports building on a culture of continuous improvement as a partnership to ensure that we are working together effectively, making the best use of resources with and for the benefit of our communities.

Clackmannanshire Alliance Chair Cllr Ellen Forson said: “This plan has been developed by the Alliance to set out our ambitions for change in Clackmannanshire over the next decade. It details our combined commitment to reduce inequality and our renewed focus to work together to secure better outcomes for our people and businesses through a wellbeing economy.

“We know that the best solutions and the best ideas often come from local communities, local businesses and our third sector, and those communities lie at the heart of this plan and our wellbeing aspirations for Clackmannanshire. We are committed to working alongside them to secure improved outcomes for Clackmannanshire over the next decade and this plan sets out the way that we will meet this commitment, creating a positive wellbeing economic legacy and a more equal society which provides a better quality of life for everyone.”
