Local Strategic Partnership |
 The Breckland Partnership The Breckland Partnership was set up in 2002 and brings together representatives from the district council, county council, voluntary and community sector, primary care trust, constabulary and a range of key agencies that deliver public services in the area. The aim of the Partnership is to create sustainable communities and improve the quality of life for all residents in Breckland. A key role of the Partnership is to improve ‘ways of working’ by:–
The work of the Breckland Partnership began in earnest with the publication of the Community Plan for Breckland in 2005. The Sustainable Community Strategy replaces and updates the initial plan. The role of the Partnership continues to evolve as we face new opportunities and challenges and as we increasingly look for innovative ways to deliver services that meet established and emerging community priorities. The new, updated Sustainable Community Strategy reflects this progress. In the last two years, the Partnership has developed three new strategies on Economic Prosperity, Culture and Social Inclusion. Together, with the Local Development Framework and the Norfolk Local Area Agreement, the three documents underpin this Sustainable Community Strategy and structure the work of the Partnership. An increasing part of the Partnership’s role is to represent Breckland at a county and regional level and to influence other strategic planning processes. By undertaking this representative role, the Partnership will strive to secure additional funding, resources and improvements for the District. Our Vision Together we can improve our quality of life Breckland is a place in which we take great pride, where our communities, organisations and businesses work in partnership within an outstanding rural environment to bring about sustainable success and wellbeing for all.
