PH8 Community Coordinator Freelance Role

PH8 Community Vision and Community Action Plan

Over the past year the PH8 community (Dunkeld, Birnam and surrounding areas) has developed its first ever 5 year Community Action Plan (CAP). The plan, coordinated by a Steering Group, was launched in March 2022, and presents a vision for the PH8 area over six key themes:

3. Connectivity, accessibility and care;
4. Environment and a greener future;
