The Waveney District Local Strategic Partnership unites a wide range of organisations with a common purpose and vision: to have “Prosperous, attractive and vibrant communities with good access to jobs, services and facilities and where everybody can feel safe, be healthy and happy”.

It is the aim and ambition of the Partnership to work closely together and understand how we can best deliver on this vision. Waveney is a hugely diverse district with over 117,000 residents sharing a wide range of opinions on how best to improve outcomes for residents. We have listened to the needs and views of all sections of our communities and have outlined Four Key Priority Areas that the Waveney LSP will focus on:

· A Prosperous and Vibrant Economy

· Learning and Skills for the Future

· The Greenest County

· Safe, Healthy and Inclusive Communities

Each of the Four Key Priorities have corresponding Action Plans with Key Leads responsible for developing the Plans within each area. The delivery for the Actions will be through:

• Standing Groups
• Task & Finish Groups and
• Community Engagement Forums

Each of the action plans focus on the next four years, describing what action needs to be taken between to 2014, which partners are involved in taking the action, by when, how it is going to be measured and the difference that it has made. And this website is the place to come to find out more.

In welcoming you here, I hope that you will find the information on this site both interesting and informative. Indeed it may encourage you to become more involved yourself!
