Dulnain Bridge Community Action Plan 2024

This document contains the Dulnain Bridge Community Action Plan, which looks forward to the year 2030. In October 2024, the Dulnain Bridge Community Council, along with other local groups, decided to review their existing community action plan from 2016. They wanted to update it and give key community organizations a strong plan for addressing current and future issues, as well as leading new community projects that the residents of Dulnain Bridge Community Council area identified as priorities in late 2024. With help from Voluntary Action in Badenoch and Strathspey (VABS), a community-led group surveyed residents to gather their views on key questions. The survey was delivered to every household and was also available online, and members of the steering group asked targeted groups the survey questions by going to places and events. The community was asked to consider what they wanted to achieve in the future, especially in relation to the environment and the economy. The action plan identifies key themes like creating a socially connected community, a climate-conscious community, and a community for young people, outlining specific projects and actions to achieve these goals with a SMART approach, like shop improvements, a community cafe, traffic calming, improved walking paths and promotion of biodiversity. The plan also emphasizes community engagement and collaboration, with a "Team Dulnain Bridge" to guide the implementation of the plan and ensure transparency and inclusion.
