Support our communities
To support the health and wellbeing of our communities, help prevent homelessness, assist people with access to benefits advice and ensure there is equal access to opportunities.
We will:
- work with partners, and provide access to leisure, cultural and outreach experiences, to reduce isolation, improve health and wellbeing, and support people to live independently at home for longer,
- tackle social and health inequalities, encourage healthy, active lifestyles and help prevent avoidable hospital admissions by working with the NHS and other partners,
- seek improvements to the provision of NHS dentistry in West Norfolk, working with the NHS and partners,
- work with schools and colleges to improve educational opportunities, inclusion, attainment and ambition,
- support the local voluntary sector as a vital element of the local community,
- improve access to affordable homes and work to improve the quality of rented accommodation,
- actively monitor food safety, housing standards, air quality and other statutory issues to minimise environmental health risks,
- address all types of anti-social behaviour and encourage respect for each other,
- promote and maintain attractive public open spaces across the borough for all to enjoy.
