Dundonald Highland Games
South Ayrshire Council is working with the communities and other partners in Dundonald to prepare a Place Plan for the village. This is your chance to have a say in your village! The Place Plan consists of partnership plans that are led by the community, and will include actions that depend on all parties with an active interest in the village for their success. To help us identify the issues and opportunities that are present in the village we need the help of those who live or work in Dundonald. As residents you know the village better than anyone and your views will inform the priorities in the plan, and your ideas will form the basis for the actions to help improve your place.The Scottish Government has developed the Place Standard tool to help us in assessing our places and you can access more information, and the link to get started, as below: beta.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/article/30508/Dundonald-Thriving-Places ...
