Sustainable Community Strategy

The Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) sets out what kind of community we want Islington to be in ten to 15 years time and how we can achieve it.

The Islington Strategic Partnership developed the SCS after extensive consultation with local organisations and residents. The overall vision is of one of creating a stronger, more sustainable community in which everyone will have access to excellent services and can realise their potential.

Our SCS is focused on delivering three key objectives:

• Reducing poverty
• Improving access for all
• Realising everyone's potential

The strategy will have three key areas:

• A long term vision for the area
• An action plan
• Arrangements for monitoring and reporting progress to local communities

The objectives of our Sustainable Community Strategy will be delivered through our Local Area Agreement. The SCS's priorities for action will inform our new Local Area Agreement for 2008 to 2011 which we are now developing.

A copy of our SCS is available below as a downloadable document.

You can also download our borough profile. The ISP produced the profile to provide statistical information and evidence to help us develop our priorities in the strategy.
