Dumbarton Ward Locality Plan August 2024 ITEM 13 - APPENDIX 1
Page 2
Introduction Community Planning in West Dunbartonshire is focused on supporting communities to have more of a say in decisions that affect them. This is informed and influenced by the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 (the Act). The Act was passed to support and promote more active community life. West Dunbartonshire’s Community Planning Partnership (CPP) is committed to working together with communities. All 32 CPPs across Scotland have a legal duty to produce two key documents to address inequality within their area. 1. A Local Outcome Improvement Plan (LOIP) – in West Dunbartonshire the current LOIP is called the Plan for Place 2017 -27. It sets out how outcomes will be improved and inequalities will be reduced in the area. It focuses on 5 priority local outcomes: • Our local economy is flourishing • Our adults and older residents are supported to remain independent • Our children and young people are nurtured • Our residents are empowered • Our communities are safe 2. Locality Plans – these are focused on tackling those inequalities that are concentrated within a specific geographical community. Localities in West Dunbartonshire are defined by ward boundaries and each includes several communities. Community Planning Partners Community Planning West Dunbartonshire (CPWD) is made up of partners from across the authority area and include: • West Dunbartonshire Council • West Dunbartonshire Community and Volunteering Service (CVS) • West Dunbartonshire HSCP • West Dunbartonshire Leisure Trust • Police Scotland • Scottish Fire and Rescue Service • West College Scotland • Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce • Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park • NHS Golden Jubilee • Department of Works and Pensions These partners and more work together to address the inequalities that exist across West Dunbartonshire by focussing on the priority outcomes set out in the LOIP.

Community planning also allows partners and communities to focus on inequalities that are identified in specific communities through the development of Locality Plans. What is a Locality Plan Locality Plans set out local priorities (based on consultation with local people), what improvements are planned and when these improvements will be made. If you live or work in the local area you have the right to be involved in the work associated with the Locality Plan. Each CPP will review progress against each locality plan and update the plan as required. An annual progress up-date report will also be prepared. The Dumbarton Locality Plan The Dumbarton Locality Plan (DLP) was developed to help improve the quality of life for people living in the Dumbarton Ward. This could focus on different things such as health and wellbeing, community safety, education, employment, housing, the local environment or access to services. At the centre of it is a desire to see local people more involved in what matters in their local area. This locality plan sets out statistical data from a range of different sources, this helps us all understand some of the local issues. The second part of the report has been developed based on the wealth of information and feedback from communities over recent years. We have used this to avoid consultation fatigue, we don’t want to ask the same questions again. Instead, we’ve reviewed all the findings and pulled out the priorities that came up most often. It’s now over to you to review our findings and confirm if feels right. Here’s the facts and statistics Life in Dumbarton: The Dumbarton Locality covers the following Community Council areas: • Milton & Bowling • Dumbarton East & Central • Silverton & Overton • Dumbarton West
Page 4
Dumbarton is one of the six wards used to elect members of the West Dunbartonshire Council. It elects four Councillors. The ward covers most of the town of Dumbarton, including the outlying villages of Milton and Bowling on the Firth of Clyde, but excepting northern parts of Dumbarton such as Bellsmyre, Broadmeadow and Lomondgate which are assigned to the Leven ward. Around 17,000 people live in Dumbarton locality, and projections show this number will remain relatively stable over the next 10 years.

West Dunbartonshire consists of 121 data zones reported in the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD, 2020). Dumbarton Locality has 23 data zones. Although Dumbarton Locality has the lowest local share (WDC area) of most deprived areas, 3 of are in the 10% most deprived in Scotland data set. These are located in Dumbarton West Community Council area where 2 of the 3 data zones fall within the 5% most deprived in Scotland data set. 6 data zones in Dumbarton fall within the 20% most deprived data set in Scotland. All but one of these is located in Dumbarton West, Bellsmyre has the remaining data zone. Local Priorities and Engagement Local engagement in prioritising plans for the area is an ongoing process undertaken by community groups and community planning partners working together. Work has been underway in the Dumbarton locality for a number of years, generating a range of findings. The aim is to better work with residents to coordinate local service delivery in a joined-up way to meet the needs of local communities. It is also an opportunity to empower local people where they want to do more for their own local community. In the Dumbarton Locality residents have made their voice heard in a range of ways including:

CPWD and the community will commit to addressing inequalities in the Dumbarton Locality by focussing on the themes that have been raised by local people through recent years: • Improved economic regeneration • Heritage preservation / tourism
Page 8
• Access to greenspace • A safe and attractive environment • Health & wellbeing Next Steps This locality plan represents community influence within Community Planning. This report will be shared with the Community Planning Partnership to ensure the priorities that have emerged are understood by all partners. The next step is for the communities within the Dumbarton Locality area to develop their own, unique action plan (see template below) for local delivery. This could be a Local Place Plan or a community Action Plan and will include community engagement to help identify where partners may contribute or help to remove barriers to increased community participation and / or action. Local Place Plans were introduced by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, giving communities the new power to produce their own plans to inform the preparation of the Local Development Plan. Local Place Plans offer the opportunity for a community-led, collaborative approach to achieve community aspirations and create great places. Read more about Local Place Plans here: Local Place Plans | West Dunbartonshire Council (west-dunbarton.gov.uk) The Communities Team will be able to support the development of community-led action plans, please contact us at empowerment@west-dunbarton.gov.uk to get started.

Lack of lighting and dirty or missing street signs in some areas. • Traffic and Parking: concern over lack of residents parking, parking on yellow lines and a lack of signage to free town centre parking The consultation undertaken through the Vale of Leven Masterplan continued these discussions and recognised the following five community priorities (2021): • Economic vibrancy • Infrastructure • Greener and sustainable • Health and wellbeing • Our heritage
Page 20
And further developed this to help shape the approved Vale of Leven Masterplan that highlighted these priorities: • Enterprise and community activity • Attractive and comfortable environment • Easy and safe to move around • Celebrate the town’s proud heritage • New homes and residents The wealth of feedback and conversations undertaken over the past 4 – 5 years has enabled the development of this Locality Plan. 2024 Further confirmation of community priorities In early 2024 the headline findings from these previous community consultations and surveys were presented in a further short survey to the citizens of Leven Locality. The intention of this survey was to reaffirm community priorities were the same or similar to those identified in past consultations and to identify any new community priorities not previously established. The 2024 priorities highlighted were: • Improvements to the town centres • Access to local services • Health and Wellbeing • Traffic, Parking and Pavements • The local economy, jobs and employment • Community events and activities In addition, people who responded to the survey highlighted issues with streetlighting, few activities or spaces for young people, the need for improved community facilities and public transport.

Community planning also allows partners and communities to focus on inequalities that are identified in specific communities through the development of Locality Plans. What is a Locality Plan Locality Plans set out local priorities (based on consultation with local people), what improvements are planned and when these improvements will be made. If you live or work in the local area you have the right to be involved in the work associated with the Locality Plan. Each CPP will review progress against each locality plan and update the plan as required. An annual progress up-date report will also be prepared. The Clydebank Waterfront Locality Plan The Clydebank Waterfront Locality Plan (CWLP) was developed to help improve the quality of life for people living in the Waterfront Ward. This could focus on different things such as health and wellbeing, community safety, education, employment, housing, the local environment or access to services. At the centre of it is a desire to see local people more involved in what matters in their local area. This locality plan sets out statistical data from a range of different sources, this helps us all understand some of the local issues.

We have used this to avoid consultation fatigue, we don’t want to ask the same questions again. Instead, we’ve reviewed all the findings and pulled out the priorities that came up most often. It’s now over to you to review our findings and confirm if feels right. Here are the facts and statistics The Waterfront ward covers the following neighbourhoods: • Whitecrook • Queens Quay • Dalmuir • Old Kilpatrick And the Community Council Areas: • Clydebank East • Dalmuir and Mountblow • Old Kilpatrick

Page 31
West Dunbartonshire consists of 121 data zones reported in the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD, 2020). Clydebank Waterfront Locality has 21 data zones, 5 of which are in the 10% most deprived in Scotland data set. • Dalmuir and Mountblow has 2 data zones amongst the 5% most deprived in Scotland (approximately 1500 citizens). • Clydebank East has 3 data zones amongst the 10% most deprived in Scotland where approximately 2100 people live. • Clydebank Waterfront has the highest number of people living in the 40% most deprived category in West Dunbartonshire. Local Priorities and Engagement Local engagement in prioritising plans for the area is an ongoing process undertaken by community groups and community planning partners working together. Work has been underway in the Waterfront locality for several years, generating a range of findings. The aim is to better work with residents to coordinate local service delivery in a joined-up way to meet the needs of local communities. It is also an opportunity to empower local people where they want to do more for their own local community.
Page 32
A number of different pieces of research where local people had the opportunity to have their voices heard have been concluded recently. These include: • Connecting Clydebank Charrette 20115 • Clydebank CAN 2018 • Shaping Places for Wellbeing 2023-24 • West Dunbartonshire LDP2 2017-18 All conversations and meetings held prior to this were also noted and used as a starting point when creating questionnaires and discussion topics. Consultation was massively important as it gave a voice to those in the community. We wanted to speak to local people to ensure the types of activities and services they wanted to engage in were on offer and investigate ways to make these more accessible across the area. The multiple deprivations and inequalities experienced by people in Clydebank Waterfront Locality were explored in 2023-24 by the Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme. This programme provided insights into the need for increased or improved: • Public and Community Transport • Active Travel Solutions • Increased Community Influence and Control Further confirmation of community priorities in 2024 In early 2024 the headline findings from these previous community consultation and surveys were presented in a further short survey to the citizens of Waterfront Locality. The intention of this survey was to reaffirm community priorities were the same or similar to those identified in past consultations and to identify any new community priorities not previously established. The community were asked about the following: • Economy & Environment • Moving Around • Feeling Safe • Community Facilities • Housing and Greenspace • Opportunities for young people and community influence Most respondents agreed that these priorities are still valid in 2024, with between 75 and 80% confirming these are the areas requiring focus and improvement.

Specific need for the following was highlighted: • Improved public transport • More employment opportunities for local people • Repair and create a new cycle path network • Stop parking on pavements • Improved street lighting in and around public walkways and footpaths • Promote initiatives to address youth disorder • Community spaces to be open and affordable • Affordable housing fit for purpose. • More visible police presence in communities Next Steps This locality plan represents community influence within Community Planning. This report will be shared with the Community Planning Partnership to ensure the priorities that have emerged are understood by all partners. The next step is for the communities within the Waterfront Locality area to develop their own, unique action plan for local delivery (see template below). This could be a Local Place Plan or a community Action Plan and will include community engagement to help identify where partners may contribute or help to remove barriers to increased community participation and / or action. Local Place Plans were introduced by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, giving communities the new power to produce their own plans to inform the preparation of the Local Development Plan. Local Place Plans offer the opportunity for a community-led, collaborative approach to achieve community aspirations and create great places.
