The Action Plan appears under its own menu heading and in the planning section as it represents the wishes and aspirations of the community as to the priorities they see are important to them in Balloch.  Many of their aspirations require planning permission, such as the new landscaping for Balloch proposed by SED. As this Action Plan was finishing its consultation exercise SED had started on plans for Balloch.  It is now over 4 years since 3,000 households in the area received the Action Plan in December 2002. Our newsletter BALLOCH FUTURES published December 2004 gave an update on progress with the Action Plan.  Almost all the actions within the plan are now completed and how this was achieved is explained in greater detail later in the article.

The Action Plan booklet was produced by Community Futures. The booklet can be accessed HERE as a pdf download. A new Action Plan for our community council area is being finalized for December 2007.

From the Action Plan a Profile for the area was prepared and published. Although the statistics are now out of date, the document is a record to compare with todays stats. It also contains some background to the area and some of this appears under local history on the website. Since the profile was produced the community council has been successful in the 'Whole of Balloch' being included within our boundary.

The profile was produced by the Secretary of B&HCC from information compiled during the Action Plan consultations and research.

Here to be a short written an account of how the Aspirations came to fruition, with before and after pictures.
