Community Conference agrees priorities for South Lakeland
Strategic Partnership
Over eighty individuals representing 40 local
organisations came together on June 19, 2009 for the annual South
Lakeland Community Conference.
This year’s conference attracted delegates
from local government, parish councils, emergency services, health,
voluntary and faith groups, environment, economic development and
many other sectors.
One of the main objectives of the day was to
agree the priority issues for the LSP to tackle over the coming
year. After briefings on a number of topics, delegates agreed the
four issues that would be the Partnership’s priorities for the year
ahead -
- Tackling climate change
- Developing Local Area Partnerships
- Regenerating service centres
- Finding sites for affordable housing
Action planning workshops began to explore how
these priorities could be tackled:
