Community Strategy

Foreword
July 2005

This strategy frames a vision for Nottinghamshire for the next four years. It makes the links between the activities already underway and those priorities which local people have told us that all partners, working together, should address to improve quality of life across the county. The strategy builds upon the wide range of responses we have received on the earlier draft and we are grateful for all the comments that local people and partners have sent. The document discusses the important links between existing local partnerships, the emerging Nottinghamshire Partnership (www.nottinghamshirepartnership.org.uk) and the Local Area Agreement (www.nottinghamshirepartnership.org.uk/laa) which is currently being negotiated and which will change the way we all work to deliver better services for local people. This is a high level document which cannot represent all the activities that are being undertaken across the county but annual Action Plans will be published giving more local detail, targets and outcomes.

I believe this document provides a jointly owned blueprint for a way forward for the next four years but also wish to encourage feedback on its content or on any other issues which you feel we should address.
