Local Place Plan Information Notice

Euan Kershaw on 14 April 2025

Forres Community Council, Forres Area Community Trust, Forres Area Forum and
Community Sports Hub have prepared a proposed Local Place Plan (LPP) for the Forres
Community Council boundary area.

This LPP sets out the ways in which our community wants to see land developed and used
and a spatial vision for our town and has used information from consultations carried out
during the period 2023 – 2024 and is based on feedback received.

The LPP is a way of identifying and helping to deliver community projects and provides
information for other interested organisations. We hope that it will encourage more
collaborative working to enable a positive outcome for the continued improvement and
development of the Forres Community.

If you have comments on the proposed LPP please email them to info.fcc@gmail.com The
deadline for comments is 5pm Sunday 11 th May 2025.

The role is based in the Forres Town Hall and you will need to have good design skills as well as a familiarity with popular social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
