Partnerships

Tackling key issues for local people such as crime, health, education and housing requires a range of local organisations working together. There are already many successful partnerships in which the council is already involved that have influenced partners to move away from thinking about particular services in terms of agencies and funding, to a concentration on functions and activities that cut across a host of organisations and partners. The Council supports this truly innovative approach to ensure that local people really benefit from the delivery of local services and therefore improve and enhance their quality of life.
