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).
