SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY
All Our Futures is the title of the new Sustainable Community Strategy produced by the Horsham District Community Partnership which sets out the long term vision for the District up to 2026.
As the lead partner in the Community Partnership, Horsham District Council has had a major role in developing the Strategy.
The Council will also be instrumental in delivering the objectives of the Strategy together with the other organisations from all sectors within the Partnership.
Work on the Strategy began over a year ago. The Community Partnership consulted with many individuals, businesses and communities in reviewing the quality of life in the District and considering what challenges and opportunities might lie ahead.
The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 established the statutory framework for local partnerships to work together to improve the way communities access the services and opportunities they need in a sustainable way.
The Act also required each local authority down to district level to take the lead within their partnership in developing and agreeing the medium to long term vision for their area, identifying the most important issues that need to be tackled, and produce a Sustainable Community Strategy.
All Our Futures, available to download below, is the Sustainable Community Strategy for Horsham District, and is in two parts:
- A high level overview of the needs of the District summarising the findings of detailed consultation and the analysis of key data, and setting out under four “goals” what the Community Partnership is aiming to achieve over the lifetime of the Strategy as well as its objectives in the short term (within four years). In order to convey the main messages quickly and forcefully, the picture presented is not closely detailed.
- Separate detailed action plans prepared by four “goal groups” drawn from the Community Partnership’s membership, for addressing the Partnership’s objectives, comprising targets, performance measures and a timeframe. These will be available early in 2010 and updated annually.
The Strategy is for Horsham District, but it will also make a positive contribution towards realising the vision for West Sussex and the South East Region as a whole, as well as becoming the framework from which action plans can be developed by our local communities to enable them to play their part in meeting the vision and goals of the District.
