Management Board Meeting Development and Improvement Groups (DIGs): Highlights and Issues Report FOR INFORMATION ONLY x FOR DECISION Name of DIG Flourishing Delivery and Improvement Group (DIG). Date of report November 2025 Name and email of lead contact Gail Macfarlane Gail.macfarlane@west-dunbarton.gov.uk 1 Highlights of activity and progress since last meeting At the recent DIG meeting there was positive discussion around the actions being considered by partners for the new action plan. The feedback from the partners and workshop engagement has been considered and the initial draft actions were discussed and the partners commented on additionality and how the benefits for the community could be maximised by working together. There was a lengthy discussion on the draft action plan and partners agreed to consider identifying actions, input into the narrative and whether the action plan represented discussion. Again discussion on additionality to these actions and not business as usual. There were 3 key updates on employability, regeneration and city region. This led to discussion on Green Jobs and Inclusive Growth. Both of these have a paper for partners to consider their role and opportunity to ensure residents are fit for the future employment opportunities. Group advised that there was an opportunity to influence the next Local Outcome Improvement Plan as now is the time to start developing this and the skills/knowledge in the partnership would be of benefit. Discussion on the Golden Jubilee developing a plan around increasing local business engagement and encouraging local use of their site for events etc. Also looking at opportunities to potentially access the green space around the hospital. Group considered how this could feed into wider employability and regeneration activity locally.
