Community Planning is a process by which organizations who provide public services, business and voluntary groups and local communities work together to improve people’s lives. The community plan sets out the long-term vision and ambition for the borough over a 13-year period and is focused on how the Community Planning Partnership can improve the economic, environmental and social wellbeing of the borough. The first community plan for our borough, Connected, was published in April 2017 and its vision is that by 2030:
We have a happy, healthy and connected community, a vibrant and sustainable economy and appealing places for living, working and learning.
ABC Community Planning Partnership has reviewed the community plan to ensure that it reflects the aspirations for the borough, given the significant events and changes, such as Covid-19, that have occurred since its publication.
The community plan sets out the long-term outcomes for the borough and the population indicators used to measure progress over time. Community planning partnerships also have a duty to work together on delivery and this action plan is currently being revisited in light of the review.
