What is a Local Strategic Partnership?

Plymouth has seen many dramatic and positive changes in the last few years. Within our plans for the future, we have identified some exciting opportunities and some real challenges.

Plymouth 2020 Partnership brings together public, private, voluntary and community sector organisations - such as those in local government, health, education, crime reduction, businesses, and local community groups - to collectively achieve our ambitious vision for the Plymouth area, contained in our Sustainable Community Strategy. We aim to offer our partners the opportunity to be involved in moving Plymouth forward - we believe it essential to our success.

Our responsibilities

We are responsible for producing and reviewing the Sustainable Community Strategy for Plymouth, which sets out the improvements we need to see in Plymouth to achieve our vision. We are responsible for ensuring our aspirations are reached.

Plymouth 2020 Partnership is not a service provider in its own right. We work through the activities of all of our partners, co-ordinating and facilitating improvements and growth where needed.

Our approach is to tap into the resources and expertise of individuals and organisations within the local community to develop creative solutions and to be ready to grasp the many opportunities available to Plymouth.

Significant achievements have been made in recent years, but we want to see more. We want to enhance even further the quality of life in Plymouth, making it a healthy, wealthy, safe, strong and wise place to live.
