These partnerships have the responsibility for ensuring that an area of the Big Plan and LAA
is developed and delivered, raising any key issues with the Board where necessary.
To support the BDP Board and its partnerships, the council co-ordinates a multi-agency
officer team known as the Partnership Delivery Team (PDT). PDT is lead by the council’s
Deputy Chief Executive, and it helps the deliver and performance manage the Big Plan and
the Local Area Agreement.
The Strategic Delivery Partnerships and the Board are supported by a range of cross cutting
partnerships that work with them to ensure that a range of issues are reflected in all aspects
of the LSPs work. They include the following:
• The Cultural Consortium
• The Strategic Disability Partnership
• The Older Peoples Partnership
• The Neighbourhood Improvement Strategic Partnership (NISP)
• The Building Communities Partnership
• The Community Network (Cnet)
3.2 The Big Plan – Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 – 2011
The Big Plan is an update on the existing Community Strategy, which will cover 2008 – 2011.
The strategy has 6 main objectives:
1. Prosperity, including the transformational priorities of regenerating the city and major
towns, and improving skills, but also covering other economic aims including aspects
of housing and transport.
2. Children and Young People, including the transformational priority of improving
education outcomes so that people are prepared for an adult life of skilled, creative
productivity, personal, social and environmental responsibility, and engagement.
3. Safer Communities – building public confidence, trust and satisfaction in reducing
crime and anti-social behaviour, tackling its causes and increasing people’s feeling of
safety and security in their homes and neighbourhoods
4. Health and Wellbeing for All - dealing with the causes of major public health and lifestyle
problems and working across partners to prevent illness and extend productive
life
5. Environment – clean, attractive neighbourhoods; reducing and managing waste
sustainably and reducing our impact on climate change
6. Strong Communities and Thriving Neighbourhoods – working with citizens to develop
active engagement, self-confidence and local resources to invest in neighbourhood
improvement.
The objectives are similar to that of the existing community strategy, with the addition of an
objective on the environment. The priorities for achieving the objectives have been updated
