Community Planning
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 Community Plan Core
Group is responsible for preparing the community strategy,
managing its implementation and reporting progress against the
actions in it. The Core Group brings together representatives
from public, private, community and voluntary agencies and the
Chairs of the district’s three Local
Strategic Partnerships (LSPs).
Wychavon's Community Strategy
We have come a long way since we produced our first community
plan, ‘Making life sweeter for you’, back in 2003 and the updated
Community Plan in
2004 (1.52 MB).
We've now launched ‘Shaping the
future together’, our new and even more ambitious
Wychavon Community Strategy in October 2007. A summary of the
strategy (599.22 KB) is also avaiable.
