If you read the press,you'll hear a lot about 'strategies'. Strategies to fight crime, reduce unemployment and improve education. Strategies to change your life. Strategies to create new opportunities.
This strategy is different because it brings together all of the issues affecting the town.
It's about developing new and imaginative ways of working between organisations and new ways of involving local people.
It's about achieving shared goals for the benefit of the community and making sure that the often invisible links between economic,social and environmental factors are not overlooked.
It's about building a better future out of the desire, shared by everybody who lives in or works in the town, to change things for the better.
It's about making our town's strong community spirit, culture, young population and extraordinary natural environment the foundations of a safer, healthier and more prosperous place with lasting opportunities for everybody.
