  5. New Guidance suggests.. • The Community Strategy is the overarching visioning document for an area underpinned by the specific outcome targets agreed and delivered as part of the LAA • Government commitment to reshaping Community Strategies as Sustainable Community Strategies

  6. Sustainable Community Strategies • Active, inclusive and safe • Well-run • Environmentally sensitive • Well designed and built • Well connected • Thriving • Well-served • Fair for everyone

Government proposed stages in preparing a Sustainable Community Strategy…. • Baselining current performance • Evidence: analysis of performance and local conditions • Local Area Agreements • Revised Action Plan • The Sustainable Community Strategy / LAA Action Plan • Refresh Strategy on annual basis and review every three years

  10. Early decisions - April 2006 • Do we continue with current structure or perhaps establish separate chapters for Environment and Housing? • How do we ensure cross-cutting agendas like children/young people and older people are effectively addressed? • Communications Strategy – is TheHartlepool Sustainable Community Strategy the best title?
