North Yorkshire Sustainable Community Strategy & North Yorkshire Local Area Agreement

North Yorkshire Sustainable Community Strategy

The Harrogate District Strategic Partnership priorities feed into the North Yorkshire Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement. 

The North Yorkshire Sustainable Community Strategy (NYSCS) 2008/18 sets out the strategic direction and long-term, sustainable vision for the economic, social and environmental well-being of the county. The North Yorkshire Local Area Agreement 2008/11 (LAA) is based on the priorities in this Strategy and translates these priorities into targets to form the main delivery mechanism and to secure the improvements that local people want to see. It is the 'deal' between the main public sector agencies in the area, other partners and central government to improve services and the quality of life in North Yorkshire.
 
Ten high level issues have been identified as priorities for the county. They are:
  • access to services;
  • affordable housing;
  • alcohol;
  • children and young people
  • community cohesion;
  • community safety;
  • economy and enterprise;
  • environment;
  • health and wellbeing; and
  • older people.
Delivery on these ten priorities as well as on the LAA targets will depend on contributions of activity at a district level among the partners in the HDSP.
