Risk assessing the sustainable communities strategy - Case study 7 Mid Sussex April 09
Following an extensive period of consultation the Mid Sussex Partnership (MSP) developed a Sustainable Communities Strategy 2008-2018. This strategy is built around four key strategic themes – environment, community, economy and health. Each key theme contains 10 or 11 sub-objectives, totalling 43 in all.
Once the strategy was agreed, the MSP board was tasked with translating the ambitions it set for the partnership into action and driving the strategy forward. Board members were concerned about their capacity to do this effectively, however, given the size of the programme involved.
