Our Vision - to create a coherent strategy for the District in order to secure: 'Activity for all for Life'
This Strategy is a key document for the District Council. It provides a strategic direction and sets a framework of the future provision of sports and leisure services, and identifies the role of Stratford on Avon District Council as provider, enabler and advocate in partnership with other agencies at a local, regional and national level.
Sport and active recreation does change people's lives for the better. It has the potential to cut across all age groups and every community, delivering on some of the wider Government targets on health, education, regeneration and crime reduction.
Producing a strategy is always much easier than implementing it and this document recognises that challenge. With the clear commitment and leadership of the District Council, and the active involvement of all of the major partners, real progress will be possible. The results will be of significant benefit to everyone living in Stratford District.
London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
With London announced as the spectacular venue for the 2012 Olympic Games (2012 Olympics 27th July - 12th August) and Paralympics (29th August - 9th September 2012), we have a unique opportunity to mobilise enthusiasm and raise the profile of sport and leisure across Stratford District. This strategy leaves us well positioned to provide and create a lasting legacy.
Consultation and Community Engagement
As a section the Leisure Service Team are committed to finding out what you think about issues that affect you. This is to help develop and improve the services that we currently provide and help us focus on other issues that may influence the provision and quality of sports, leisure and physical activity initiatives within the District.
Research conducted by MORI has consistently emphasised the importance of good communication. Further analysis support findings from the ‘Connecting with Communities' initiative, which demonstrates the impact that good communication can have on overall ratings of a Council.
