Community leaders in Dudley will show off their 2020 vision when they unveil plans for the borough over the next 10 years.
Creating employment, tackling obesity and substance misuse, preserving the borough’s heritage and reducing crime are all set to be outlined as key priorities in the vision.
Dudley Community Partnership, made up of the council and key public, private and voluntary sector partners, will launch its new, revised Community Strategy at Dudley Concert Hall tomorrow (Tuesday March 23).
The strategy, which runs under the heading ‘my borough – our borough’, is revisited every three years, and outlines the borough’s priorities. It outlines aspirations for improvements under six themes.
The six areas are jobs and prosperity, health and well-being, heritage, culture and leisure, environment and housing, individual and community learning and community safety.
Sarah Dugan, chair of the Dudley Community Partnership, said:
“The purpose of the strategy is to bring together all of the positive aspects of living in the borough. These strengths will be used to improve the quality of life for all over the next decade.”
Councillor Anne Millward, leader of Dudley Council and a member of the community partnership, said:
“We have so many reasons to be proud of the borough but there is also so much more we can do to improve things further.
“Our challenge is to set clear priorities for now and for the future. Our local communities, together with public sector organisations, private businesses and the voluntary and community sector, can then work to achieve these priorities in the coming years.”
The launch event will be attended by representatives of Dudley Council, West Midlands Police, West Midlands Fire Service, Dudley Primary Care Trust, Jobcentre Plus and Dudley Group of Hospitals. Representatives from the business sector and community and voluntary sector will also be at the launch event.
