Stratford District Partnership

The Stratford District Partnership (Local Strategic Partnership for Stratford-on-Avon District) comprises representatives of local government, the police, health, education bodies, businesses and voluntary and community organisations.

Set up in 2000, the Partnership provides an opportunity for groups and organisations to work together to co-ordinate actions to improve local quality of life.  Its key role is to set out a shared long term vision for the District up to 2026, having regard to local economic, social and environmental objectives.  This is achieved through the Sustainable Community Strategy.

The Partnership also contributes to the delivery of the Warwickshire Local Area Agreement.  It uses that agreement as a framework for agreeing priorities for improvement, setting joint targets and clarifying the responsibilities for delivery.

All members of the Stratford District Partnership endorse the objectives of the Sustainable Community Strategy and are committed to its successful implementation.

The Chair and Vice-Chair of the Core Group are indepedent members who are elected on an annual basis.  The current Chair is Charles Goody and the Vice Chair is Alan Bartlett.  Other members of the Core Group are representatives of Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Warwickshire County Council, NHS Warwickshire, Warwickshire Police, Voluntary Action Stratford-on-Avon District and Warwickshire Association of Local Councils. 

Further information on the Partnership can be found on the newly developed website http://www.stratford-dp.org.uk.
