waves ahead  

 Following on from study into the feasibility of merger between Worthing Together and
Adur in Partnership Local Strategic Partnerships, Worthing Together agreed at its meeting of 21 January 2009 to work with Adur in Partnership towards a joint Sustainable Community Strategy, to supersede Worthing’s Interim Sustainable Community Strategy of 2008  and Adur’s Community Strategy of 2004.  The new strategy is named waves ahead.

Waves ahead 2010—2026 has balanced statistical and qualitative evidence with the results of community consultation to find out the needs and desires of the area. We are grateful to the many partner agencies and community groups, and to the 1,400 plus local residents, that contributed to its development. All of this has helped to shape the vision and priorities laid out in waves ahead.

Please click here for a printable pdf version of waves ahead, with links to enable you to access further information about other strategies, policies, projects and partnerships referred to in the document.

In the near future we will be providing you with web links to:

• sources for the evidence on which waves ahead is based
• details of the public consultation
• supporting material and
• impact assessments

We expect a hard copy of waves ahead to be available shortly.

We are now preparing Action Plans detailing exactly what will be delivered, when, and by whom. We are particularly working on some short-term actions that we can deliver within the next year. These plans will be published on this website in the near future and will be monitored regularly. Progress reports will be made available annually.

If you have any queries about waves ahead, or you want to know how you can be involved in delivering the vision, please contact
