The Glencairn Local Place Plan is being launched today, at the start of the statutory 28-day consultation period. It has been drafted by a Steering Group of local people, led by Glencairn Community Council and supported by Moniaive Initiative. It aims to recognise both the challenges to, and the aspirations of, our community. Once adopted, the document will sit formally within the Council’s planning system, and the contents will be recognised as a ‘material consideration’ which has to be taken into account when planning decisions are made.

You can read the document online (below) and will also be able to access paper copies at the Repair Cafe today (Saturday 1st November 2025, 10am-1pm, Glencairn Memorial Institute) and thereafter at The Hive and Watsons Grocery Store.

Two consultation events will follow shortly, where you will be able to discuss and comment on the contents of the plan.

We will also accept written comments and queries:

Paper comments can be submitted in a sealed envelope (marked “LPP”) to the Hive

Digital comments can be submitted to moniaiveinitiative@gmail.com

If you require a response to your comments / queries, please ensure you provide contact details.
