Local Strategic Partnership

Working Together for a Better South Cambridgeshire

The South Cambs Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) was set up in 2003 to further improve quality of life for those living, working and visiting the district. More gets done in an area if people work together, and this partnership includes public, private, community and voluntary sector organisations.

The LSPs aim is that South Cambridgeshire will continue to be a place where people want to live, now and in the future. A place where the needs of existing and future generations are met and where communities are:

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

Our objectives

1. Active, healthy and inclusive communities where residents can play a full part in community life, with a structure of thriving voluntary and community organisations.
2. Safe and clean communities where residents do not feel vulnerable or isolated and need not fear crime or anti-social behaviour.
3. Building successful new communities, where developments include affordable homes to meet local needs and form attractive places where people want to live, and which are supported by a full range of quality services and social networks.
4. A sustainable infrastructure and environment with good transport links and access to the countryside of the district, which is itself protected and improved, and with sustainable measures, which minimise waste and tackle climate change.

The partnership has developed a Sustainable Community Strategy to outline its joined up approach to improving the area. The strategy, based upon evidence, runs from 2008 until March 2011.

The Sustainable Community Strategy will be supported by an action plan for delivery. The action plan is a working document, which is regularly updated by the theme groups who are responsible for delivering against the priorities.
