The Revised
Sustainable Community Strategy 2008/9
The revised Sustainable Community Strategy "Maidstone Matters,
Partnership in Action", will outline the Maidstone Local Strategic
Partnership's Vision for how the borough will evolve and
change over the next ten years.
Draft Vision: "‘Retain and build on Maidstone
Borough’s distinctive history / character and role as Kent’s County
town. To develop communities and a town where people can
achieve their aspirations, improve their quality of life and enjoy
an excellent environment. Particular focus on
creating prosperity and balancing this with environmental
quality."
To date a significant amount of research and public consultation
has taken place to help the LSP develop the priorities
for the new strategy. The following documents outline this
work:
The
Maidstone Profile Report – The profile contains statistical
analysis of the key issues which affect the borough.
-
The Draft Local Action Plan – The plan is based upon the
targets set out in the Kent Agreement Two, which brings partners
together to work for the good of the county. The priorities
identified within the plan form part of a defined list of
prescriptive indicators which were developed by the Communities and
Local Government Department.
-
The Draft Issues and Choices Report – The document brings
together a number of working streams and sets out the issues and
choices relating to the key themes within the emerging sustainable
community strategy.
-
"Stick up for Maidstone" - Community Engagement – A report of
the results gathered from the community consultations carried out
between May - September 2008.
Work is now underway to compile a draft Sustainable Community
Strategy which will be available for public consultation in the New
Year.
