West Lancashire Local Strategic Partnership's Sustainable Community
Strategy 2007-17 was launched at the LSP Annual Conference in June
2007. It provides a framework for improving the wellbeing of our
local communities through a vision, agreed objectives and a set of
priority projects.
The document is now available on CD for people to view, as well as
being online too.
Rosie Cooper, Chair of the WLLSP, said: "I hope the residents of
West Lancashire will read the strategy because it sets out a number
of priorities that will help us to improve the quality of life for
people in West Lancashire and will benefit us all."
Within the strategy, it identifies nine key priorities:
· To improve safety and ensure that people feel safe
· To build on the solid foundations of a strong voluntary and
community sector and to develop community participation and pride
in our neighborhoods
· To improve health outcomes, promote social well-being for
communities and reduce health inequalities for everyone
· To provide more appropriate and affordable housing to meet the
needs of local people
· To provide good quality services that are easily accessible to
all
· To contribute to sustainable development through the wise use of
natural resources
· To provide opportunities for young and older people to
thrive
· To create more and better quality training and job opportunities
to get more people into work
· To protect and improve West Lancashire's environment including
safeguarding our biodiversity.
Cllr Geoff Roberts, Leader of West Lancashire District Council,
