Catrine Placemaking
0%
We have produced this Placemaking Map of Catrine following extensive consultation with community groups and individuals in the village. Our aim is to produce a plan for future improvement that brings the biggest benefits to those who work and live there.

This questionnaire is part of our public consultation to make sure that the plan truly reflects your priorities for the future of Catrine. It comes in three parts.

To fill it in, you must refer to the Placemaking Map and Action Programme for Catrine

This questionnaire forms part of our informal consultation. Once this is complete we will analyse the results of this questionnaire, gather all the comments made and these will be considered by the local steering group who are promoting this Placemaking Plan.

They will decide whether to make any amendments to the plan before it is passed to East Ayrshire Council for consideration and to enter a final six week formal consultation process during which time you will have a further opportunity to make a written representation.

At the end of this formal consultation your comments will be considered by the Council and a final decision made on any amendments to the plan.
