Waterford City and County Council is currently developing a Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) for the six year period between 2023 and 2029. This will set out the priorities, objectives, actions and resources needed to promote and support community, economic and environmental development throughout the County, directly by the Local Authority and in partnership with development agencies, sectoral interests and the wider community. This brief survey provides the opportunity for everyone to shape four High-Level Goals which together will comprise the community focus and vision of the LECP. The LECP consultation process will also provide an opportunity to suggest initiatives, actions to deliver on these goals. A brief socio-economic statement outlining the LECP planning process and a brief summary establishing a current statistical baseline for Waterford's society, economy and environment can be viewed at
