Story of the Community Strategy

The consultation for the new document started at the SSP Conference in November 2006.  Workshops on the day looked at the eight components from the Government.  Information on the components for the Community Strategy are available by clicking the following link: Definition of Components they also looked at a vision and priorities for each component.

We wrote to all attendees from the Conference and asked them if they wanted to take part in the "bigger conversation".  With this in mind workgroup meetings took place in January, these groups looked at the vision and priorities which came out of the Conference and at delivery mechanisms for the priorities.

Notes from the workgroups are available below.

• Active Inclusive and Safe
• Well Run
• Environmentally Sensitive
• Fair for Everyone
• Well Designed and Built
• Thriving
• Well Served
• Well Connected

The outcomes of these workshops were combined with feedback from other recent consultations to give the text of 'A Vision for Swindon 2008-2030'.
