We live in turbulent economic times. We must be clear as to where we should concentrate our collective efforts at a time when our budgets are reducing and there are many challenges facing people in our communities. This is why having listened to your views we are going to prioritise action in connection with children and young people, anti-poverty, health inequities and transport. We have much to be proud of but if we want to create a Neath Port Talbot where everyone has an equal opportunity to be healthier, happier, safer and more prosperous, in the current climate we need to redouble our efforts to tackle poverty and ill health. This Plan sets out our priorities for action and how we will monitor the progress as we implement our plans. It also describes our wider partnership work that we will continue to take forward. We have a long history of working together and this gives us confidence that we are well placed to make a difference across Neath Port Talbot.
