Community Strategy and Vision
Hull’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2009 – 2011 sets out the vision and priorities partners will work toward in "Creating a Better City" where no one is left behind.
Organisations - under the banner of Hull’s Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) ONE HULL - work collectively to achieve these important goals aimed at improving the quality of life of local people.
Public sector agencies like Hull City Council, NHS Hull, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and Humberside Police have come together to work alongside community and voluntary groups from across the City. Individuals from the business sector also play an important role.
Reducing crime and the fear of crime, securing new jobs, creating a skilled workforce, must go hand-in-hand with other crucial areas of work, such as improving health, tackling teenage pregnancy and smoking, improving attainment at schools, as well as creating further learning opportunities.
The 'Full’ Strategy builds on the unprecedented City-wide consultation that took place from 2005 to 2006 and the recent engagement for Hull’s Local Area Agreement (LAA).
Every child, resident, business and community group in Hull was encouraged to have their say (through the 'Have Your Say’ campaign). Along with holding special community events and roadshows, the consultation involved sending out over 117,000 Vision Questionnaires to every household, while online questionnaires collated feedback from a national and international perspective.
The feedback included responses from across the country and even from America. Over 93 per cent of people who responded agreed that we should concentrate on building a better economy, improving opportunities for education and training, and aiming for a better quality of life.
The LAA is seen as building upon the vision and priorities set out in this Strategy, which recognises that Hull has much to be proud of – but still faces many challenges.
A 'Summary’ version of the Strategy was also developed to give a brief overview of the issues to be tackled, which alongside the LAA, need to be delivered over the next three years.
These include:
- Earning – working to make sure that all local people thrive economically
- Learning – guaranteeing that no local child or young person is left behind in achieving their full potential
- Healthy –enabling everyone to make healthy lifestyle choices
- Safe – helping local people to build strong communities and a City which is a safe place to live
As a City, we can only reduce poverty if local people realise the real benefits of working in partnership. By bringing together important partners to focus on providing job opportunities, improving education, and dealing with anti-social behaviour and poor health, local people can help improve the quality of life for everyone.
