Lessons learned

2030 strategy
(case study 1)

The most important lesson to pass on is that whilst it is important to take action and deliver projects and schemes this must not be at the expense of making the time to build the foundations that will develop and deliver action over the decade.

These foundations are strong communication, meaningful collaboration and a focus on community needs and the sustainable solutions rather than prioritising the ‘emergency needs’ as this risks only realising the ‘sticking plaster’ fixes.
