Community Strategy and LSPs
A community strategy or plan is a
visionary document. It sets out the priorities for a
particular locality and how key organisations and agencies are
working together to improve the quality of life for everyone who
lives in, works in or visits the area.
A community strategy typically contains:
- a shared vision
- priorities for the area, derived from a strong evidence base,
including community views
- targeted partnership actions that meet the priorities and will
help deliver the long term vision
- a shared commitment to implementing the actions from everyone
involved
- arrangements for monitoring and reviewing the plan
- a way of reporting progress to the community.
In Wychavon, the district Local
Strategic Partnership (LSP) is responsible for preparing the
community strategy, managing its implementation and reporting
progress against the actions in it. The Wychavon Strategic Partnership brings together
representatives from public, private, community and voluntary
agencies and the Chairs of the district’s three area based
partnerships.
In October 2007 we launched the last Wychavon Community
Strategy ‘Shaping the future
together’ which ran until October 2010.
The Worcestershire Single Sustainable Community Strategy for 2011
to 2021 has now been published. The
strategy outlines three countywide, strategic
priorities: a skilled and prosperous economy; an
environment that is cherished and resilient; and improving
health and wellbeing. Alongside these, the district Local
Strategic Partnerships have identified their own priorities, which
are set out alongside their own vision, challenges for the area and
how they will deliver their priorities. There are seven
priorities for Wychavon, which were developed by the Wychavon
Strategic Partnership.
