Future North West consultation now open
24 August 2010
Future North West: Our Shared Priorities was published in August 2010 and provides a high level statement of strategic priorities and framework for activity over the next 20 years.
This statement builds on a substantial programme of work by private, public and third sector partners from the length and breadth of the North West. This work was originally undertaken to support the development of the regional Strategy (RS2010) but now underpins Future North West.
Future North West is based on a sound and comprehensive evidence base. It has also benefited from a sustainability assessment and an analysis of the North West’s environmental limits as well as extensive stakeholder engagement and public consultation.
Making the North West great will depend on building on our already exemplary tradition of strong and effective partnership working. Partners are therefore invited to consider just how they can help deliver the shared priorities for the North West in the coming years.
Your views and comments on this document would therefore be extremely helpful. They should be sent by email, by 8th October 2010, to: Future.NW@nwda.co.uk
If you have any questions, or need any further information, please contact Brenda Buckley on 01925 400279 or Future.NW@nwda.co.uk
