Regular monitoring of the progress made in relation to ensuring the effective delivery of the objectives set out in the Draft Plan will take place. This will include a review of identified actions to be implemented within the timeframe of the plan.  Coordination between other key departments in the Local Authority will be critical in ensuring that those objectives relating to issues such as roads, housing and community development are achieved.
