About the Manchester Partnership
The Manchester Partnership (Manchester's Local Strategic Partnership) brings together key sectors, organisations, and community representatives that are actively tackling the toughest problems that residents say affect their lives.
In doing so, the Partnership is delivering its Community Strategy for Manchester, which outlines its vision for a world-class city by 2015, when Manchester people will live longer, be wealthier and be happier. The priorities of the Community Strategy are reflected in the Community Strategy Delivery Plan - the partnership's delivery plan for the next three years.
On the Partnership website you can read or download the State of the City reports which provide a 'snapshot' of life in our city and the progress we are making towards our goals. The reports are produced by the Manchester Partnership and provide a wealth of information which reinforces our priorities, and allows us to monitor our success as we work towards the objectives of the Community Strategy.
Community Strategy 2006-2015
The Manchester Way is the city's sustainable Community Strategy. The strategy is being delivered through actions that will benefit everyone who lives in, studies in, works in, or enjoys Manchester. It will improve Manchester's economic, social and environmental foundations. If the city achieves its vision by 2015, Manchester, and its population, will be very different in the next decade:
-
All areas of the city will benefit from the city's success, and every neighbourhood will be included
-
Manchester people will be wealthier, live longer, be healthier and enjoy happier lives
-
Children and young people will be safer, more resilient and fulfil their potential
-
There will be more working families
-
Six out of ten homes will be owner-occupied
-
Productivity (Gross Value Added per head) for Manchester will be greater than the UK average
-
Manchester will be in the top 10 of European business cities
-
The city's population will have increased to 480,000
-
Manchester will be a green city, proud of its rapidly improving local and global environmental performance and the contribution of the environmental sector
-
Manchester will develop sustainable transport to promote economic growth.
The Community Strategy is available on the Manchester Partnership website.
