Case Study - John from Larbert 

John is a member of one of our groups. He found out about the 

group from the job centre, where he picked up a leaflet when he 

went to sign on. John came along to learn how to use a computer, 

and gain more skills to improve his prospects of finding a job. 

John says he thought it would be difficult joining the group for the 

first time. He didn’t know what to expect, but the group was really 

friendly, really welcoming, and the group doesn’t 

feel like a chore – it’s a social event too, and the 

other members of the group have become his 

friends. John has also moved on and is now 

working towards his ECDL (European Computer 

Drivers Licence). 


FALKIRK WEST COMMUNITY 

PLANNING 

We asked! You said! Now make it matter! 

Services designed with and for People and Communities 

In 2003 the Government placed a duty on all local Councils and their partner agencies to work 

with local people as part of Community Planning Partnerships. These Partnerships were told to 

develop a clear understanding of local needs and opportunities, plan for improvements and 

deliver improvements and actions 

Understand the Local Needs 

As a starting point, statistical information about the area was gathered from a variety of sources 

such as the Scottish Government, Office of National Statistics, Falkirk Council and Forth Valley 

Health Board for sections of the Falkirk West area, including Bainsford, Langlees, Camelon, 

Tamfourhill, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Bonnybridge and Denny. This included health, social 

economic, education, life expectancy, unemployment and receipt of benefits. 

To get the views of the local people, door to door surveys have been carried out and to date 

12000 households have taken part in this consultation. Thank you to everyone who has helped 

us with this! 

Plan for Improvements 

The next step was to organise a number of events with local 

officers, local groups and local residents to feed back the 

results. A graphic artist captured people’s views and helped 

to identify the actions to be taken forward. Networks are 

now being set up in each area to help local people and 

services to come together and create joined up solutions. 

Deliver Improvements/Action 

Following this process, a Community Action Plan will be developed 

for each area that will: 

• be created by the community based on their perceptions 

• be informed by the local community and the skills and 

knowledge from which others can learn 

• be useable by all agencies 

• inform and address inequalities 

• target Falkirk Council services and agencies where they are 

needed most 

• incorporate existing policies 

• be communicated through the setting up of local networks 

• invest in the capacity of local people and groups so that change lasts

COMMUNITY EDUCATION CENTRE 

The Greenpark Community Centre is situated in Polmont and serves the village and surrounding

community, both young and old, focusing on social, educational and leisure time activities. The 

centre is run by a voluntary management committee supported by Falkirk Council’s Community 

Learning & Development Service. 

At present the community centre is in the later 

stages of an extensive refurbishment programme, 

including new windows and redecoration. 

In addition to the well developed programme a 

couple of new groups have been established 

recently in response to community requests. 

The first group is a new junior youth club which runs 

every Wednesday from 6.30-8pm. This group is run by Lisa McCallum, 

Centre Co-ordinator, along with her team of local parents and helpers 

who have all generously volunteered their time. 

The second group is the new playgroup which has recently moved from Polmont Community Hall. 

The new group operates daily from 9.30am-12pm allowing pre- school children to play and
