What’s a Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS)?
All local authorities have a duty to work with partner organisations to produce a Sustainable Community Strategy. The strategy shows how local organisations will work together to improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the people in their area. The aim of the strategy is not to provide a comprehensive list of all the different activities going on to improve the city, but rather to set out the key priorities for change and actions to deliver them. Newcastle is currently working on its Sustainable Community Strategy and this will be published in April 2008.
