9 SUPPORTING COMMUNITY COHESION

The Council will work with its partners to promote community cohesion by:

  • Supporting area based policy interventions relating to the place shaping agenda which seek to tackle social disadvantage;
  • Promoting accessibility whereby all members of the community have access to good quality health care, housing, education and training, employment, open space and other social facilities in locations that best serve the community;
  • Contributing towards reducing crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour by using design principles that create environments which promote community safety and discourage offending, in accordance with Core Policy 30;
  • Actively encouraging participation by all members of the community in planning and decision making processes; and
  • Requiring the provision of necessary community facilities to support local need within the delivery of Core Policies 37- 45.
