Community-led Development (CLD) is the process of working together to create and achieve locally
owned visions and goals. It is an approach that turns traditional “top down” development policy on
its head.
Under CLD, local people take the reins and form a local partnership. It is a planning and
development approach that’s based on a set of core principles that (at a minimum) set vision and
priorities by the people who live in that geographic community, put local voices in the lead, build on
local strengths, collaborate with local authorities and state agencies, and works to achieve a better
community and a shared vision for the Community.
To this end Milltown Community Council have engaged Deirdre Black Associates to work with the
people of the Parish to develop a shared Vision for the Village and surrounding areas.
