Helensburgh and Lomond Area Community Planning Group Meeting
Arrangements 
Introduction
The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Community Planning Group considered
feedback received from Partners regarding meeting arrangements in November
2022 and agreed to review these arrangements in a years’ time. 
Background
During the August 2022 meeting the Area Community Planning Group agreed that a
survey would be undertaken to gain feedback from Partners on future meeting
arrangements. The results were subsequently considered during the meeting held in
November 2022 - the report and associated appendices can be accessed by
following this LINK.   
A majority of respondents felt that they would like the option for either face to face or
Hybrid meetings and that they were happy to continue with daytime meetings with
the majority in favour of morning meetings. Many respondents also indicated that
they would like to offer the opportunity to return to meetings taking place in other
venues around the area, with the option to have Hybrid arrangements in place.  
In the 12 months since the survey was undertaken attendance remains high
amongst Partners with no feedback, formal or informal, that Partners are unhappy
with the existing meeting arrangements i.e. held during the morning, by Microsoft
teams and in the Marriage Room, Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre. 
Recommendations
The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Community Planning Group are asked to
consider the future meeting arrangements of the Group.
