Local Investment Plan for Cumbria
This is the first Local Investment Plan for Cumbria. It was prepared jointly by the Cumbria Coordination Group and has been agreed with Cumbria Strategic Partnership's Leadership Forum and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The purpose of the Plan is to set out the key issues facing Cumbria and the role of housing regeneration and place making investment in addressing these issues. It sets out:
- our agreed vision
- key objectives within the overall vision
- the shared priorities of local partners
- the relationship with the HCA and other partner agencies such as the NWDA
- detailed investment proposals, anticipated outputs and outcomes and
- criteria for measuring progress over the Plan implementation period
It is the first step towards a joint investment plan for Cumbria and strengthens the existing partnership structures. The document can be viewed through the link below.
