The Shropshire Partnership are inviting members of the public to comment by 12 February 2010 on the final draft version of the Community Strategy by viewing and completing the questionnaire on their website. The Community Strategy will guide the way public agencies, the voluntary sector and business groups will work together in partnership over the coming decade and will help guide future policy and funding decisions. The document outlines the challenges and priorities that residents have said need addressing in Shropshire over the next ten years.

The new draft Cultural Strategy embraces a partnership approach between Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Councils and the private and voluntary sectors. It has been developed by the new sub-regional Cultural Consortium whose members represent culture, regeneration, health, equality and diversity, safer communities and young people. The draft Cultural Strategy is now available for public consultation with a deadline for feedback of 9 December 2009. The final document will be considered by the Cabinets of both Councils and will be published in the New Year.

The next LJC meeting will be held on Monday 1 March 2010 at Willey and District Village Hall.
