The Strategy was published at the end of July 2008.  It focusses on ten key priorities for achieving the ten-year vision.  These are:
 
  • Access to services and public transport
  • Affordable housing
  • Alcohol
  • Children and young people
  • Community cohesion
  • Community safety
  • Economy and enterprise
  • Environment
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Older people
 
These priorities were decided upon following a lengthy proccess of detailed data collection and analysis and consultation with NYSP partners between 2007 and 2008, including drawing on the seven district-level sustainable community strategies, the six county-wide thematic partnership plans, the evidence base for the Strategy (also available on the NYSP website) and consultation with NYSP partners at the annual conference in 2007. 
 
The Strategy focusses on the high-level issues on which partners will need to work together effectively to achieve their vision.  It does not deal with specific actions or outcomes expected.  This is dealt with through the Local Area Agreement 2008/11, which sets out specific targets for how improvements to services and quality of life can be achieved.
