About the Rossendale Partnership
The Rossendale Partnership brings together key public, private community and voluntary bodies together to achieve a shared vision for the borough:
By 2018 Rossendale will have strong communities with an enhanced environment and heritage. It will be an attractive place to live where tourists visit and employers invest.
No single agency working alone can bring 'Rossendale Alive' and tackle the key issues facing local people such as creating safer communities, improving housing conditions, creating prosperous town centre etc. By working in partnership, a greater understanding of community needs develops along with the ability to develop solutions by using the expertise of all: the public sector, community groups, local businesses and volunteers.
With this in mind, the Rossendale Partnership was formed with its members drawn from a wide range of organisations across the Borough. The Rossendale Partnership brings together the local and county council with other public services such as police, primary care trust, schools as well as the private, business, community and voluntary sectors in order to improve the quality of life for all residents in Rossendale.
Our Vision outlines how we, Rossendale's Local Strategic Partnership, will improve the quality of life and life chances for all residents in Rossendale. It commits us to achieving sustainable development through the co-ordinated activity of all partners to improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the Borough and its communities.
We want all community members in Rossendale to be proud to live in the Borough and by 2018 to be a place where people from all backgrounds aspire to live, work and visit. We will ensure that there is pride in our communities and recognition of the good ideas, projects and activities that are ongoing throughout Rossendale. We believe that the key to our progress is to adopt a people based approach, where we deliver solutions based on individual need.
The people, who live, work and visit Rossendale now and into the future will have high aspirations for themselves, their businesses and their families. The task of the Local Strategic Partnership is to work together to make these aspirations attainable.
