8 How Will We Deliver the Strategy? Council will share the Strategy with stakeholders with an interest, role or remit in the development of Carrickfergus Town Strategy. These will include: • Council’s Community Planning partners • Carrickfergus Townscape Heritage Initiative (until the programme ends in March 2022) • Town Centre business representatives • Community and voluntary organisations operating in Carrickfergus Where appropriate, Council will lead on actions and be responsible for the implementation of the Strategy. Equally, where relevant, other stakeholders will take a lead on actions set out in the Ten Year Strategy and their responsibility will be identified and resourcing sought, identified or provided. Ultimately if the Ten Year Town Centre Strategy is to be effective it will require a combination of: • Leadership • Partnership working (co-design and co-delivery) • Resourcing from within Council budgets or identifying resourcing externally
Effective implementation of the Strategy might also require new partnerships to deliver elements of the Strategy. Initially leadership will be provided by the Council and via engaging appropriate statutory and community partners via the Community Planning Partnership. The Theme One Action Plan sets out the actions which will be put in place to provide the leadership and structures in place to deliver the ten year Town Centre Strategy.
