Ryedale

The vision of local people for Ryedale in 2013 is a place:
with vibrant communities where everyone is respected; where all generations have opportunities to express themselves; where diversity is welcomed and encouraged.
that is home to welcoming and familiar neighbourhoods, where people and friendships are valued. Community spirit is strong, underpinned by security and safety. There is mutual trust between local people and the organisations that exist to help, support and serve them.
in which it is easy to access any part of Ryedale, and all
other places, for work and play. Communication is dealt with in flexible and innovative ways.
where people enjoy life, work and leisure at their own pace.
Freed from stress, they can take care of themselves and others.
with a cherished mixture of towns, villages and landscapes. It
is a peaceful sanctuary, not crowded or polluted.
where everyone in Ryedale is involved in and can influence
planning for the community; the places where they live and work; increasing opportunities to meet, learn and have fun.
 
The Ryedale Strategic Partnership is working to achieve this future for the communities of Ryedale and in order to do this has identified the following priorities for 2007-10:
Obesity
