Harrogate District Partnership Plan
Harrogate District Strategic Partnership Plan
The Harrogate District Strategic Partnership has now completed the refresh of the Harrogate District partnership plan or the sustainable community strategy as it has been known in the past.
There is a current statutory requirement to have a Sustainable
Community Strategy (SCS) at a District level however Eric Pickles
is currently seeking revokation of this legal requirement on
Districts.
It has been agreed that even with the statutory
duty revoked that a 'Partnership plan' will still exist for
the District. By having a partnership strategy for the District it
shows a commitment from all the partners and organisations as a
collective to work together.
The Harrogate District Strategic Partnership have reviewed the Plan so to bring it up to date with strategic developments within the District, countywide and at regional levels.
The revised plan
With the reduction of partnership working structures it was
agreed that the strategy will be will be scaled down significantly
from the 64 page document that existed previously.
The revised plan will consist of three components; the links
for the documents are attached:
1) A small number of strategic priorities and a vision: that
will be delivered through partnership working at a Harrogate
District level into a condensed document. The priorities will be
focused around the key elements required of a community strategy
namely economic, environmental and community cohesion/engagement.
It is proposed the existing ten priorities are reduced to three
core priorities with several outcomes for each. The leads for each
of these elements will be asked to provide a few key actions that
support these priorities that deliver added value through
partnership working (not single organisation actions, things that
aim to be achieved through working together with other
partners).
Strategic vision, aims and
priorities
2) A revised profile of the Harrogate District: to have a
documented overview of the District profile to ensure services and
priority work areas are targeted at the right people.
3) The mapping of partnership activity and key strategies
within the Harrogate District: to assist in identifying key
partnerships and forums and strategies operating within the
District and the organisational lead. Arising issues can then be
allocated to the right forum/lead unless there is a cross cutting
theme that cannot be addressed in any other way but through the
Harrogate District Strategic Partnership Forum (last resort).
