In some instances, the Chepping Wye Valley Local Community Partnership will be able to directly impact on actions to address one or more of the priority themes through allocation of its delegated budgets. For most of the priorities within the area plan, it is likely that the main role of the Local Community Partnership (LCP) will be to act as a coordinating body and catalyst for action, with the LCP taking an investigative, supportive, developmental, champi- oning and monitoring role. 2 3 4 The Chepping Wye Valley Local Community Partnership Promoting healthy lifestyles The Chepping Wye Valley local area covers five Protection/improvement of the environment parishes (see map on opposite page) The and green spaces.

The top actionable priorities will be worked on by the LCP and also updated on a regular basis as these are taken forward. The Local Priorities budgets will be allocated to the actionable priorities. The priorities are split into those that the LAF can work on locally and those that are more strate- gic and therefore, the LAF has to influence through lobbying different services and organisations. Top actionable priorities: to be worked on locally by the LCP and community groups Activities & facilities for young people Traffic management focusing on speeding and parking Improvements to footways and pavements Promoting healthy lifestyles Protection/improvement of the environment and green spaces. Social isolation particularly older people In 2014 the LCP decided to group the Priorities into more strategic categories as follows: Community Health and Wellbeing Economy and Environment Road Safety Strategic priorities: the LCP will monitor and lobby on behalf of these priorities Public transport particularly for access to employment Demand for affordable/social housing.
