What is the Community Plan?
What are the issues that really matter to the people of Barking and Dagenham? We have found out by listening – listening to over 3000 residents, local groups and businesses.
We have discussed the challenges we face in terms of economic prosperity, safety, health, housing, education and the environment to name but a few. We are enabling local residents to influence the future delivery of services and the development of their neighbourhoods.
Barking and Dagenham’s Community Plan:
- Sets out a shared vision for the future of the borough;
- Outlines our priorities for action over the next three years;
- Demonstrates our commitment to working together for the benefit of people who live, work and visit the borough;
- Ensures our actions provide co-ordinated rather than fragmented services to children, young people and adults.
Throughout its lifetime we will monitor the Community Plan and review it in 2012 and 2016 to identify new priorities to keep us moving towards our vision for 2020.
Why have a Community Plan?
The Community Plan sets out the ambitions for the Barking and Dagenham Partnership and how it will work to deliver improvements in the borough. There are many agencies working to improve the borough, and to deliver services to its residents, from the Council, health services and Police through to businesses and smaller voluntary and community organisations. Only by bringing together their actions and ambitions in a plan such as this can we get a consistent approach to delivering what the residents of the borough tell us is important to them.
