Joint working on Sustainable Community Strategy
for Worthing Together and Adur in Partnership
Following on from study into the feasibility of merger between Worthing Together and
Adur in Partnership Local Strategic Partnerships, the two LSPs have agreed to work together towards a joint Sustainable Community Strategy, which will supersede Worthing’s Interim Sustainable Community Strategy of 2008 and Adur’s Community Strategy of 2004. (Click here for minutes of Worthing Together Steering Group meeting of 21 January 2009)
A consultant led joint workshop was held on 15 April 2009 to look into setting up a joint working group to lead on this. Please click on the links at the foot of this page for a pre-circulated discussion paper, a workshop presentation, a post presentation report and a document on conclusions and next steps.
