Community Priorities

They set out an approach to working with and empowering our local communities, enabling them to contribute to, influence and shape locally identified actions around the priorities to achieve improved outcomes for our areas.

This will help make sure that public sector agencies work in partnership with local communities and the voluntary sector to improve the areas and the lives of those who live there. Working in partnership will also help us ensure that the North Lanarkshire ambition to be the place to live, learn, work, invest and visit is fulfilled.

Working together on Community Priorities

Over the last five years, partners across the North Lanarkshire Partnership have worked closely with local people to address the issues that matter most - improving health and wellbeing, creating safer neighbourhoods, increasing opportunities, and tackling poverty.

We are now planning for the next 10 years. Your views in this consultation will help refresh our shared priorities and guide where collective action should focus next. Your voice will shape the future of your community.

The Community Priorities consultation is now open between 20 March and 1 October 2026 and can be completed in approximately five minutes.
