Derbyshire's Sustainable Community Strategy

The Local Government Act 2000 places a duty on all local authorities and their partners to produce a Sustainable community strategy that will help improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of their area.

The strategy provides the blueprint for joint action by almost all the public, private and voluntary organisations in the county known as the Derbyshire Partnership Forum.

To make sure we’re all working to the same end, the partnership has identified key areas where we can work together to improve services. By joining forces on common priorities for change and action, we believe we stand a better chance of improving the economic, social and environmental well-being of our county.

As well as highlighting priority areas for improvement, the strategy sets stiff targets to make life better for everyone who lives, works or visits Derbyshire.

Please use the link below to view the draft Sustainable Community Strategy 2009 – 2014. Your comments are welcome on this draft strategy until 15 June 2009. All details are included on the document itself.

To help spread the word about the draft Sustainable Community Strategy consultation a short leaflet has been produced for partners to distribute within their own organisations and networks.

Please feel free to print off further copies of the strategy and/or leaflet to distribute (please note that voluntary and community groups in Derbyshire have already received a copy of this leaflet).
