The Government identified the need for Local Strategic Partnerships (LSP) as the best way of promoting the social, economic and environmental well-being of communities.

Each district is required to have its own LSP which should work to enhance the quality of life, contribute to sustainable development, and help coordinate and shape the future action of public, private, voluntary and community organisations.

‘Suffolk Coastal 2021’ is the Community Strategy for the Suffolk Coastal district drawn up by the Suffolk Coastal LSP. Representatives of business, voluntary, community and statutory organisations that represent our community have prepared this Strategy and consulted local people directly so that the outlined work reflects what the local community wants.

In this important document, we have identified what we believe to be the twelve key issues that need to be addressed in the district in order to achieve our Vision. The document clearly identifies our ambitions and aims in areas where we believe that we can uniquely make a difference by working together.

The Suffolk Coastal LSP will take a lead role in delivering on these ambitions. The Board will continue to oversee the work of the Partnership and ensure that the local community is kept informed of what is happening.
