Healthy Communities: Looking forward to 2009/10

The Council recently refreshed its Corporate Plan. As part of this process a number of sub-themes were identified within each theme. The sub-themes for Healthy Communities are:

Healthy Living:	Encouraging and enabling people across all sections of the community to make healthier lifestyle choices in relation to sport, leisure, recreation, travel and work.
Involving Communities:	Making sure local people have the opportunity to get involved in the development of their local communities and the district as a whole.
Sustainable Neighbourhoods:	Ensuring that people take pride in their local neighbourhoods.
Reducing Health Inequalities:	Ensure that all local people can enjoy the same high standard of health and well-being, regardless of the area in which they live.

For details of the new projects identified through the refresh please look at the Corporate Plan. The following table provides an update for the top 5 indicators identified against this theme through the refresh:
