The Community Strategy is the starting point for all council plans and strategies. So every council strategy or policy will play its part in delivering the vision. It is a shared strategy with our partners in health, police, higher education and the voluntary sector. It states that:

"By 2020 Kirklees is recognised in West Yorkshire and beyond as an area of major success. Its strong economy is supported by an attractive, high quality environment, offering the best of rural and urban living. Creativity and learning are highly valued. Communities are proud of their past, but enjoy diversity, are outward looking and face the future with optimism. Both young and old find it a safe, healthy and supportive place, where there is a clear commitment that all should share in this success."


The strategy is split into four main sections, which we call 'blocks'.
Each block has a Local Public Service Board to help deliver on Local Area Agreement.
  • Regeneration and sustainable development
  • Safer and stronger communities
  • Children and young people
  • Adults and healthy communities
