In addition to producing Shetland’s Partnership Plan, which covers the whole of Shetland, the Shetland Partnership is also required to plan at a more local level. These Locality Plans should enable communities and wider partners to find innovative solutions to key local challenges. Locality Plans can be based on geographic areas, administrative boundaries or communities of interest (a group of people with shared characteristics).
In October 2020, the Shetland Partnership published the Shetland’s Islands with Small Populations Locality Plan. This plan is the first Locality Plan produced by the Shetland Partnership. The Plan covers the communities of Fair Isle, Fetlar, Foula, Papa Stour and Skerries and is based on extensive dialogue between public service providers and the people who live and work in these isles.
