Tameside Sustainable Community Strategy

All local authorities have a duty to prepare a sustainable community strategy to improve quality of life for local communities by identifying one clear set of long term priorities for the borough.

One of the key tasks for the Tameside Strategic Partnership is to produce and implement Tameside’s Sustainable Community Strategy.

The 'My Tameside' Tameside Sustainable Community Strategy 2009-19 (2MB) details six aims for the borough which were identified from extensive consultation with 3,000 local people. The six aims are to promote:

• Supportive Tameside
• Prosperous Tameside
• Learning Tameside
• Attractive Tameside
• Safe Tameside
• Healthy Tameside

The development of the updated Tameside Sustainable Community Strategy has been supported by a consultation and engagement report, 'What Our Communities Told Us' (608KB) , a Sustainability Appraisal (262KB) and a Equality Impact Assessment - (Summary) of the Sustainable Community Strategy 2009-19 .
