Community Strategy for
Worcestershire 2003 - 2013
(1.11 MB)
If time travel were possible, we could zoom ten years into the
future and see what Worcestershire would be like.
You may be surprised to find that in a decade's time most of us
want the same things.
We want
to live in a pleasant area with good health services that make us
feel well looked after. We also want to feel safe and worry less
about crime. Having an opportunity to learn at school is important
to us, but we also want good education facilities so that we have
the chance to continue learning throughout our adult life too. We
want to live in a prosperous economy, but without damage to our
environment.
All of your local government authorities, health and learning
providers, police and probation services and other public agencies
make up the Worcestershire Partnership, together with voluntary,
community and environment organisations and local businesses.
We have
joined together to try and deliver a vision for the future and have
put together a ten-year plan to improve your services.
The plan, called the Community
Strategy, puts down on paper the things that you told
us would make Worcestershire a better place to live, work and play
in.
We have listened carefully to your aspirations for our county,
and promise to do all we can to make sure we do those things that
are most important to you. You told us you wanted:
- Communities that are healthy, and support vulnerable
people
- Communities that are safe, and feel safe
- Learning and skills for everyone, at every age
- Economic success that is shared by all
- A better environment – for today and for our children
- Connecting Worcestershire
