Lead Partner: Devon Heartlands Community Development Trust
Description
The Devon Heartlands Community Partnership is the successor to the Okehampton Area MCTi Partnership working with communities of Okehampton, North Tawton & Chagford and the surrounding Parishes.They aim to work with all community groups, local authorities, and agencies to help make the communites better places for everyone.
The Devon Heartlands RARP project is 
essentially about identifying and improving the ‘Engagement’ of Rural Communities by meaningful and ongoing Community Planning at the Local, District, County and Regional level. This is made possible through the active participation with, and by, the Key Strategic partners including the MCTA, SWAN and Devon County Council.
To advance the work in West Devon members of a WD LSP working group met together for the first time in January 2007 and identified a range of issues and objectives to advance Community Engagement.
The Devon Towns Forum agreed to fund a series of Workshops for the LSP Group and others to work out local issues that could then be shared with others across the County and beyond. The first Workshop was held on the 12 March and the second with over twenty people took place on the 3 April 2007. The DTF are also willing to fund a dissemination event later in the year and are hoping to work with the Devon Strategic Partnership to support their work on the Devon Local Area Agreements priority for Stronger Communities and the creation of a comprehensive Community Planning Database.
Devon Heartlands manager Ewen Rae said ' We see this as an opportunity for everyone involved in Community Planning to really work together and see some excellent solutions put in place that will actually assist and support meaningful grass roots Community Engagement'
