For the last three years Stockport has benefitted from a Physical Activity Strategy that has included all our key partners. The new approach, highlighted in this Active Community Strategy, wants to build on this and expand our work on activity to take a whole systems approach. Looking at how everything from the policies we have, the partners we work with, the great local community groups, and the support we offer to individuals can all work together to make Stockport more active. We are really lucky in Stockport in having access to fantastic environment – and for most people the first step is just to get out there – to move more and to incorporate physical activity in their daily lives. You will see that this is the first time that our major focus is on people who are inactive and I’m determined that we will make this is an inclusive strategy. The feedback from the consultation indicates that we are moving in the right direction but more needs to be done in our priority areas, for people with health conditions and those with disabilities. This is a bold strategy that will link in with our neighbourhood, our focus on reducing inequalities and sets our strategic direction for our future programmes with Life leisure and other providers. Our collective ambition is high and I am confident that this will be met with the support of our residents. Cllr Jude Wells.
