Process So Far….
• July 2014  c. 130 people attended a workshop on the introduction to
Community Planning.
• September 2014  c. 130 attended a workshop on how we might go
about preparing a Community Plan.
• November 2014  Community Plan Task and Finish Group
 Advise on evidence gathering methodology
 Consider an overall framework for a community plan and the process for
developing it
 Co-design the 3rd workshop for all stakeholders – February 2015
• November 2014  Commence statistical baseline: Establishing the
evidence base
Robust Evidence Base
Establishing Baseline Position:
1.
Collation of official statistics
2.
Citizen Survey 2015
 Questionnaire – 1400 households
 Focus Groups (including Section 75 groups)
Collation and interpretation of official data sources
• A lot of these data are available for our local areas.
• We want to compile them and see how the situation has changed in
preceding years and set down a marker to help direct and assess the
effectiveness of the Community Plan going forward.
• Work with stakeholders to fully understand what the data are telling us in
the light of local knowledge.
• This collation of data is only one part of the process.
Citi-scope Survey and Citizen Survey
Citi-scope survey 2009 and 2012
Underlying Principles:
• Inclusivity
• Openness
• Transparency
• Strong stakeholder involvement
• Best Practice
• Apply these principals to 2015 Citizen survey across the new Derry City
and Strabane District Council area
2015 Citizen Survey
• Citizen Survey in early 2015.
• 1,400 households, randomly selected across the new Council area.
• Recruitment of enumerators – community based approach – training and
capacity building – long term positive impact.
• Survey will ask questions not necessarily collected by official sources.
• An attempt to ‘fill in the gaps’.
