The strategy, which was launched on 29th October 2007, sets out an aspirational long-term vision which all partners will work towards over the next 20 years.

We want Cheltenham to deliver a sustainable quality of life, where people, families, their communities and businesses thrive; and in a way which cherishes our cultural and natural heritage, reduces our impact on climate change and does not compromise the quality of life of present and future generations.

This is supported by three underlying principles that will underpin everything we do:

  • The principle of community engagement and participation
  • The principle of tackling inequalities and promoting cohesion, and;
  • The principle of tackling climate change                                                    

   


Having consulted widely with the community, the CSP has identified the following longer-term ambitions where, over the next twenty years, we will take concerted and coordinated action through both partnership working and the local development framework to turn our vision into a reality:

 

·      Promoting community safety

·      Promoting sustainable living

·      Promoting a strong and sustainable economy

·      Building healthy communities and supporting older people

·      Building stronger communities and supporting housing choice

·      A focus on children and young people

·      Investing in environmental quality

·      Investing in travel and transport

·      Investing in arts and culture

 

These ambitions will be delivered by the CSP, its six thematic partnerships and through the local development framework.
