What is a Sustainable Community Strategy?

Northamptonshire County Council has a statutory duty to prepare a sustainable communities strategy. Northamptonshire’s sustainable communities strategy (Northamptonshire "The best place in England to grow") sets out the long term ambition and priorities for the county over the coming years. It looks ahead to the issues and challenges we face and articulates a vision that all partners are committed to achieving a county that will:

• thrive through sustainable growth and regeneration
• flourish through having a dynamic, better skilled economy
• have safe and strong communities
• have healthy people who enjoy a good quality of life

How do we deliver this vision?

Northamptonshire’s LAA will form part of the action plan for delivering the Sustainable Communities Strategy priorities. LAA focuses on a small number of priorities which will deliver specific elements of the long term vision. It does this by translating the long-term ambitions set out in the strategy into short-term (3yr) targets that will help us deliver improvements in local services. The Community strategy priorities are much wider than LAA alone and there are a number of other partnership and organisational activities that will also contribute to this agenda.
