Won’t removing plan requirements exclude voluntary and special-interest groups from the service planning and objective-setting processes?
A30. The reality will be quite the opposite. Local authorities will continue to need to work in partnership with all relevant interests, and Assembly Government will continue to reinforce that. In operational planning local authorities will be freed from the straitjacket of having to do so within an arbitrary and centrally-driven planning framework. For instance, local authorities will no longer be subject to central deadlines for the preparation and submission of plans, and would be free to devote more time to collaborative planning in a particular area if they felt that would be helpful. Or local authorities could prepare single plans for all services delivered to a particular community group or a particular area. Innovations like these will make wider engagement significantly easier.
