Eileen Wilson

It is proposed that the CPP conference scheduled for this year is integrated with the Community Learning and Regeneration annual conference.  It was stressed that the conference is and will be about community planning.

The paper was agreed with the following proposals, a stronger focus on the working sessions, ensuring the outcomes of the conference match the agreed CPP outcomes, and look at a possible session for the Strategic Housing Forum.

Action Points

a)                  Confirm and communicate the date electronically as soon as possible

b)                  Review the agenda for the conference and invite the Tipperary Project if it is appropriate to Argyll and Bute.
