Project Partners
The Clydebank Can project partners include Community Links Scotland, Y Sort It, Awestruck Academy, Clydebank Housing Association and West Dunbartonshire Council.
The partners have been working together since the completion of the Clydebank Can Your Place Your Plan report to discuss individual activities, prevention of overlapping and duplication, funding priorities and consideration of how best to take forward the Locality Place Plan for central Clydebank and the canal area. The Locality Place Plan was developed through the Local Outcome Improvement Plan (LOIP) which sets out the outcomes the Community Planning Partnership will prioritise.
Community engagement and participation is essential for successful development of our community - so please get involved!
