Linkage Groups
Through participation in Linkage Groups, WPPN member groups can have real input into the development and implementation of local government policy.
The 4 Westmeath Linkage Groups mirror the 4 Strategic Policy Committees of Westmeath County Council and are made up of member groups who have a particular interest or expertise in the issues being discussed by that committee.
They are the forum by which member groups can influence policy that affects them and keep up-to-date with developments.
Linkage Groups are open to all WPPN member groups regardless of which Pillar, Municipal District or Sector they belong to.
Westmeath PPN currently has five Linkage Groups –
- Climate Change Environment and Water Linkage Group
- Economic Development, Enterprise, Agriculture and Tourism Linkage Group
- Housing, Community, Recreation and Culture Linkage Group
- Planning, Regeneration and Transportation Linkage Group
Linkage Group meetings are held throughout the year. See the Events Page of this website for dates and locations
