The Partnership – Our aims

The aims of this Partnership are:

• To provide a clear and ambitious vision for the future of Oxford, developing its environmental, economic and social life in a positive and sustainable way;
• To improve the quality of life of all sections of the community, to reduce inequalities, and support the needs and aspirations of citizens in their local areas;
• To foster and promote closer working between local agencies to deliver responsive and high quality services across the city.

How these aims will be delivered

Oxford Strategic Partnership will seek to deliver these aims by providing a focused approach to identifying and realizing clear improvements across the City, targeting in particular those areas of greatest need. This approach will be set out in a Sustainable Community Strategy with associated action plans. The Partnership will deliver these actions by pooling expertise, knowledge, resources, research, and good practice. It will build a long-term, city-wide vision, alongside more immediate support to foster and encourage sustainable, community-based development.

A dynamic and long-term perspective is vital if we are to secure lasting improvements to the local quality of life for future generations. We will work to ensure that the overall environmental, social and economic impacts of our work are understood and addressed.
