Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Community Planning Inquiry (Post-Legislative Scrutiny of the Community Empowerment Act 2015)

Meeting date: 14 March 2023

Willie Coffey

Thank you. I will ask one final question.

Again, I think that I have picked this up from your comments, but I want to ask whether you agree that we are seeing more shared leadership in the community planning partnerships than was perhaps the case when they began a long time ago and that that was very much driven by local authorities. Are you seeing a broadening and widening of leadership roles? I will give Mark McAteer an opportunity to come in.

Thank you for that. Michelle or Evonne, do you have different perspectives to add or do you share those experiences that we have just heard?

Good morning, everyone. You might have heard the part of our discussion with the previous panel when we talked about leadership at national and local levels. With those witnesses, I tried to focus on how local leadership works. I will turn the question around a bit and ask you what your local community thinks about the leadership that you show in the community planning partnerships. Do you ever ask them?

I am interested in examples of local leadership, how that drives the CPP process and what the community thinks of it. Do you ever ask your local community what it thinks of the leadership that you show in driving the CPPs? If you ask them, what do they say?

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 7 March 2023

Willie Coffey

Is there any risk that the regulations might result in the incorrect classification of genuine situations as avoidance? For example, let us suppose that a tenancy agreement was signed and the occupier genuinely became insolvent after that. How would the owner be able to demonstrate that that was not an avoidance mechanism?

My Ayrshire colleagues are here, but my next question could be asked about any community that has areas of multiple deprivation. Susan McCardie, you mentioned Wallacetown, part of which is affectionately known locally as White City, as I am sure you know. A few years ago, that community wanted to have its own houses demolished so that it could start again. How does a community planning process engage with an issue such as that to try to turn it round? The same thing could be happening in other communities in Scotland. How have you engaged with communities through the CPP process in order to influence the outcome and turn things around?

I would like to give Evonne a last chance to contribute to that.

Are there other views on that? I am particularly interested in leadership at the local level to drive a lot of the initiatives that come forward. We learned about some great experiences that emerged because of Covid and that communities feel are the things that they should be doing now, not the things that they were doing as part of the CPP process prior to that. It was a surprise to many of us that they wanted to keep that. Local people were driving that with support from councillors, officials and others. Do you see that happening in Glasgow and in Aberdeen?

I will turn to my colleagues in South Ayrshire. How do you engage with local people on what their views are of the whole leadership process?

Thank you both for that.
