What is Community Planning?
Community Planning is about the public, private and voluntary organisations in the Borough working together, and with communities to plan and deliver better services which make a real difference to people’s lives.
Specifically, this is about, achieving long term objectives for improving the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the area.
We have identified 19 outcomes which we want to achieve over the 15-year lifespan of the Community Plan.
The 5 key Themes which have been chosen are Sustainable Jobs & Tourism, Progress in Education, Good Health and Wellbeing, Community Safety and Cohesion and Our Environment.
Each of these themes have their own set of outcomes.
