Ashfield District Council: Sustainable Community Strategy

Sustainable Community Strategy

The Sustainable Community Strategy focuses on the priorities which address the challenges of the district including priorities that local people have told us they are most concerned about, like crime, quality of parks and open spaces,being healthy, having access to jobs and training, our children and young people achieving and the community being fully informed and engaged.

Sustainable Community Strategies are of key importance in delivering a partnership agenda and especially relevant in times of budgetary constraints, which we are now facing. We will ensure through our partnership working that everyone works together to provide efficient, evidence based solutions to the challenges we are facing.

Underneath the Sustainable Community Strategy we have Action Plans which collectively deliver against the priorities we have agreed. Broadly speaking, the work is done by the six Themed
Partnerships.

Our themes are:

Ashfield’s Children Achieving Their Full Potential
A Greener Ashfield
A More Prosperous Ashfield
A Safer Ashfield
Healthy Ashfield
Stronger Communities in Ashfield

We also come together to deliver on cross cutting priorities that one single Themed Partnership cannot deliver on. There is also joint work with our district neighbours, for example, we are working with
Mansfield and Newark and Sherwood on the Sherwood Forest Area Housing Strategy.
