Vision for the future
Oxfordshire Partnership's draft Oxfordshire 2030 strategy and delivery plan.
By 2030 we want Oxfordshire to be recognised for its economic success, outstanding environment and quality of life; to be a place where everyone can realise their potential, contribute to and benefit from economic prosperity and where people are actively involved in their local communities.
Our main strategic objectives
1. World class economy
We need to build on Oxfordshire's vibrant economy and make sure that everyone has an opportunity to be included in that success.
2. Healthy and thriving communities
Oxfordshire is a great place to live for most but not all, and we need to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour, health inequalities, lack of housing and congestion instead of transport and respond effectively to the demographic challenges we face over the next 20 years. We also want our City, market towns and villages to be communities with a heart.
3. Environment and climate change
Responding to the challenges of climate change, minimising the effects of flooding, looking after our environment, reducing waste and use of energy are all important in improving the quality of life for Oxfordshire's people.
4. Reducing inequalities and breaking the cycle of deprivation
Whilst Oxfordshire is a pleasant and prosperous place to live and work, there are pockets of deprivation typified by some or all of the following:
- Low educational attainment
- Family breakdown
- Worklessness
- Crime and anti-social behaviour
- Poor health
- Poor housing
These problems are linked and mutually reinforcing. They can combine to create a complex vicious cycle. Central to our vision is ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in life. The Partnership will work together to reduce inequalities and narrow the gap between the least and most deprived individuals and communities in Oxfordshire.
