We have just recently finalised our 10 year
strategy “Kilkenny 2002 – 2012, A Strategy for
Economic, Social and Cultural Development”. We invite
you to take a look at this document by clicking on the “Strategy”
button.
This strategy was developed after the most
extensive public consultation process that has ever taken
place in Kilkenny. The document also takes account of recommendations
and policies made at national level as well as existing county-based
initiatives. It is not just another document – it is
a programme of action that reflects the aspirations and concerns
of the community at large. Achieving our visions and objectives
for Kilkenny will require changes to the way we plan and manage
our delivery of services. Our ambitious plan of action will
only be achieved with the fullest co-operation of all service
providers in Kilkenny. By bringing key players together with
their particular knowledge and expertise and by encouraging
co-operative working and shared understanding we hope to stimulate
new thinking and encourage closer working relationships. The
Board hopes that this strategy will serve as an encouragement
to the community to become more formally involved in shaping
their own lives. It aims to empower people at local level
who are involved in the delivery of services and supports.
It represents a vision for the future as well as being the
engine to drive change at local level.
Thanks
for visiting us.
