Led by Locality and supported by West Lindsey District Council, these two free and in-person launch events are an opportunity for us to meet and explore how your local aspirations or initiatives can best be developed, delivered and implemented.

We have launched an online survey on opportunities and barriers to community project delivery in West Lindsey. Information from this survey and these events will inform future delivery of a series of free workshops and survey sessions later in the year to support you moving forward with your community project.

You can complete the online survey here: https://locality.tfaforms.net/237

Colleagues from Locality (Madeleine Gohin MRTPI, Mick McGrath, Dave Chapman MRTPI) will provide an overview of their understanding of how to bring forward and implement community projects, drawing on their experience in neighbourhood planning, policy development, organisational development, business planning, financial planning, asset acquisition and development. You'll also be joined by Grant White (Communities Manager) and Nev Brown (Senior Neighbourhood Planning Officer) from West Lindsey District Council, with ample time for Q&A.
