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.

‘Waveney Sustainable Communities Strategy 2007-2010’ is the Community Strategy for the Waveney district drawn up by the Waveney 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.

The Waveney Sustainable Communities Strategy is available to download. At the core of the document is our agreed vision to have  "Prosperous, attractive and vibrant communities with good access to jobs, services and facilities and where everybody can feel safe, be healthly and happy."

In this important document, we have identified what we believe to be the 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 Waveney 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.
