Public invited to have say on Local Economic and Community Plan

Dublin City Council would like to invite the public to have their say on our new draft Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP).

The LECP is a 6 year plan to promote and support local, community and economic development in the city.

We want to hear the public’s thoughts, ideas and actions on how to improve neighbourhoods, communities and local economies for all who live, work, learn in and visit Dublin city.

Councillor Carolyn Moore, Chair of the LECP Advisory Group said, “Dublin’s economic prosperity should benefit all of our citizens, and the Local and Economic Community Plan is hugely important in terms of shaping our approach to economic and community development in the city over the next few years.

We want Dublin to be home to thriving communities in a thriving city, and this plan is our roadmap to achieving that in a way that respects our environment, supports our climate goals, and ensures every citizen has access to the things they need to live a good live. So we want to know what that means to you, what matters to your community, and what this plan should prioritise. Please have your say before December 15th.”

You can have your say on the draft plan by visiting Local Economic and Community Plan 2024-2029 Public Consultation Survey – Dublin City Council – Citizen Space and completing a short survey. This survey will close on Friday 15th December 2023.

Councillor Tom Brabazon, Chair of the Economic Strategic Policy Committee said, “In Developing this LECP, we look forward to actively engaging with communities and businesses across Dublin City to develop high level goals and actions that meet their specific needs. Furthermore, working collaboratively with partners and stakeholders towards common goals will have a positive lasting impact across Dublin City.”

The closing date for this public consultation process is January 15th 2024.

In addition to the survey, members of the public may also contact the team directly with any ideas or opinions by emailing LECP@dublincity.ie
