Sustainable Community Strategy
|
 |
A new single countywide Sustainable Community Strategy
(
SCS
) for
Worcestershire is now available.
What is a Sustainable Community Strategy (
SCS
)?
A Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) sets out the
overall strategic direction and long-term vision for the economic,
social and environmental well-being of the local area and the Local
Strategic Partnership (LSP) is responsible for delivering it.
A
SCS
addresses matters which are important to the whole community -
those who live in, work in and visit the area. Such issues
are identified through consultation, government policy and
stakeholder meetings. The aim is to provide a co-ordinated
approach to address issues that matter to local people and improve
the quality of life for everyone.
In September 2010, the Worcestershire Partnership (in
consultation with District Partnerships) approved proposals for a
new Single Countywide Sustainable Community Strategy for
Worcestershire. This was finalised in November
2011 and it includes a chapter specifically on Bromsgrove
District from the Bromsgrove Partnership.
Further information on the new single
SCS
for Worcestershire is
available on the Worcestershire Partnership's
website.
What are the priorities for the District?
|
In short, the Bromsgrove Partnership Priorities are:
- Economic Growth (including the regeneration of
Town Centre)
- Balanced Communities (covering health and
wealth inequalities, children and young people, older people
and safer communities)
- Environment (including reducing CO2
emissions)
