The strategic aims of the Partnership between the Councils

- To commit to developing and implementing a joint Sustainable
Communities Strategy for West Cumbria, as the defining framework
for individual and joint strategies and actions.
- To work together to enhance the quality of life and economy of
West Cumbria to create an attractive place for all people to live,
work, do business and engage as citizens in community.
- To consistently and actively secure the engagement of the
communities of West Cumbria (of place and of interest) in
developing agreeing and implementing the Strategy and in holding to
account those responsible for its implementation.
- To support the integration and rationalisation of existing
agencies responsible for the delivery of the actions which will
achieve the objectives of the Strategy to improve economy
efficiency and effectiveness.
- To secure the alignment of resources in support of the
objectives of the Strategy.
- To work together to promote West Cumbria and the objectives of
the Sustainable Community Strategy in their dealings with
governmental and other organisations, agencies and interests
outwith West Cumbria, at subregional, regional, state, European and
global levels.
The Partnership was formed in 1986, with an initial focus on
economic development and a joint West Cumbria Economic Strategy. In
1998 it also took on a regeneration policy role with the
development of the Strategy for Comprehensive Regeneration in West
Cumbria as part of the New Commitment to Regeneration initiative of
the Local Government Association, which merged into New Commitment
to Neighbourhood Renewal in 2000. Also in 2000, the Partnership was
involved in developing the New Vision for Furness & West
Cumbria which has evolved, in West Cumbria, into the 2007-2027
"Future Generation" Strategy for Sustainable Communities in West
Cumbria, broadening the policy coverage from economic development
into a holistic strategy for social, economic and environmental
well-being for sustainable communities.
