Strong community

This Programme sets out goals designed to achieve a shared and better future for all. It aims to build a strong community where everyone, regardless of race, colour, religious or political opinion, age, gender, disability or sexual orientation can live, work and socialise in a context of fairness, equality, rights, responsibilities and respect.

In particular, there is a commitment to:

• addressing the issues for disaffected young people

• welcoming and living in harmony with our neighbours from minority ethnic backgrounds

• tackling the conditions that lead to a continued need for urban interfaces and rural segregation
