Levelling up our communities
Our ambition is to work with communities across the county to: reduce inequalities, regenerate high streets, market towns and neighbourhoods; improve infrastructure, jobs, skills and education provision; and help residents to achieve their ambitions for the places they live.
We will:
✔️ Work with local partners to attract national Levelling Up Funding to regenerate our high streets, market towns and neighbourhoods.
✔️ Listen to local communities about what they want to achieve and how.
✔️ Work alongside neighbourhoods to develop plans that build on their strengths, as well as attracting local and national investment to help deliver them.
✔️ Supporting local residents to develop new skills, careers and job opportunities.
✔️ Link local people to jobs by providing sustainable transport solutions and reducing barriers to employment.
✔️ Shape local community services to make sure they can adapt to the needs and aspirations of local residents.
✔️ Working with local schools and academies to improve the quality of local education provision.
