THE NW2045 COMMUNITY-LED 
VISION

​​​​​

The NW2045 Vision - created by the Communities of NW2045 in 2021 - is the foundation for all our work. 

​

In early 2021, a diverse team from the communities of the North West - volunteers, paid professionals and young local interviewers - worked with people from Coigach up to Durness and round the North coast to Bettyhill to develop a shared vision for the area.

​

The consultation was carried out online and in person (Covid restrictions permitting), and attracted the attention of one in ten North West residents.

​

It included an open survey with 250 responses; a young person’s survey with 90 responses; in depth interviews with 65 people and four online community workshops for residents in Coigach, Assynt, Kinlochbervie and Tongue.

​

The resulting data was gathered, analysed and articulated as three Vison Statements: 

​​

• Vision 1: A place that is attractive for young people and families to live and work

• Vision 2: A model for a new diverse rural economy

• Vision 3: A place where communities can determine their own prospects​
