Community First for Portsmouth is a key partner in the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) which is comprised of representatives from all sectors, public, private and voluntary. The LSP is charged with determining the strategic direction for the city and to plan how it will bring this about. The Vision for Portsmouth sets out where the LSP wants Portsmouth to be by 2017. Following extensive consultation, the LSP agreed the new Vision for Portsmouth is to be:
The premier waterfront city, with an unrivalled maritime heritage - a great place to live, work and visit.
We want to:
- Improve opportunity and achievement in education, skills and lifelong learning
- Make Portsmouth an accessible city, with sustainable and integrated transport
- Develop Portsmouth as a city of innovation and enterprise, with a strong economy and employment opportunities for all
- Make Portsmouth a city where everyone feels and is safe
- Make Portsmouth an attractive and sustainable city
- Deliver affordable, quality housing where people want to live
- Encourage and enable healthy choices for all and provide appropriate access to health care and support
- Enhance Portsmouth’s reputation as a city of culture, energy and passion, offering access for all to arts, sports and leisure
- Celebrate the many diverse and different communities within Portsmouth and work together to create an inclusive city for everyone
- Protect and support our more vulnerable residents by shaping public services to meet their needs
