Pressures, challenges and priorities
The North Warwickshire Sustainable Community Strategy sets out our three key priorities for improving the overall quality of life in North Warwickshire from 2009 to 2026. These are:
- Raising aspirations, educational attainment and skills
- Developing healthier communities
- Improving access to services
We recognise that a broad range of work is needed to tackle the priorities set out in this Strategy. Our intention is not to reflect the core business of an individual organisation but to add value by working together using staff time and resources more flexibly. This will target our priorities where the greatest achievement can be made and make the best use of the resources available.
We recognise that some issues, for example climate change, do not appear as one of our three key priorities. It is, however, being addressed elsewhere, through the Warwickshire Sustainable Community Strategy to ensure that appropriate linkages are made to educate, enable and empower communities to reduce carbon emissions. The Local Development Framework will be addressing the quality and design of new development and the opportunities for improving the Borough's existing built stock, where the greatest need and potential benefits for reducing carbon emissions lie.
Our priorities will change over time to ensure that we address the borough's biggest challenges and help those communities in greatest need.
