Hambleton Area Partnerships
Area Partnerships in Hambleton seek to
represent the public, private, voluntary and community sectors
working or living in their area and are focused around each of the
five market towns and their surrounding villages, as detailed in
the map
below:
Established in 2002 each Area
Partnership within the Hambleton & Richmondshire Strategic
Forum has produced and monitors its own Community Plan which
reflect local need and aspiration. Each plan has fed into the
Hambleton Sustainable Community Strategy to ensure that local
issues have been considered.
The purpose of the Area Partnership’s Community Plans are to:
- allow local communities to articulate
their aspirations, needs and priorities
- co-ordinate and influence the actions
of the District Council, and of the public, voluntary and community
and private sector organisations that operate locally so that they
effectively meet community needs and aspirations
- unlock a variety of grants that are
available to improve existing services or establish new
projects
- contribute to the achievement of
sustainable development both locally and more widely, with local
goals and priorities relating, where appropriate, to regional and
national aims.
Each group is keen to keep everyone
informed of their progress and will continue to publicise key
stages of their development.
Membership is open to residents of the market towns and the
surrounding villages and attendance at meetings of the Partnerships
is welcome.
We hope by doing this, we find residents will become more involved
in decisions which affect them, as well as having a better
understanding of what the area’s priorities are and how to help
deal with them. Each area also has its own detailed evidence based
profile, building a picture of the place and the people who live
and work there.
This approach will provide an opportunity to discuss local
concerns and issues, and will be one of the main ways in which we
engage with our communities. We hope we can get district
councillors, parish councillors, members of the public and
representatives of community groups, local businesses, partners and
other agencies involved.
