Strategy
into Action
In
January 2001 the Council approved its 'Strategy for the District
Centres in Stockport' which, amongst a number of objectives, agreed
the development and creation of an 'Action Plan' for each of the eight
District Centres.
The
aim of the Marple Action Plan is to identify the, strengths and
weaknesses of Marple centre and develop, not only individual
strategies, but also specifically a list of short, medium and
long-term objectives aimed at guiding future development and
regeneration.
In
broad terms, the aims of the Action Plan can be categorised under four
general headings:
-
To
act as a strategic and management plan to aid the delivery of
the vision of vitality and viability for Marple District Centre.
-
To
inform and relate to the UDP, development control and wider body
of corporate policy.
-
To
guide future development.
-
To
act as a baseline document to guide Marple Partnership in its
evaluation and monitoring of effectiveness and appropriateness.
Crime
and Disorder can, in some cases, be viewed as a by-product of our
physical and social arrangements, as a service provider, all decisions
made by the local authority could have a potential impact on the
incidence of crime and disorder. For example, the frequency of street
lighting and the rapid repair of vandalised items can reduce the
vulnerability of an area. Therefore, to comply with Section 17 of the
Crime and Disorder Act 1998, consideration of the impacts on crime and
disorder have been made when outlining strategies put forward in this
action plan.
Furthermore,
as a council we will ensure that in implementing the action plan, due
regard is given to the impact possible action might have on the
environment and actively seek to minimise that impact. Sustainable
local economic development is at the heart of all council service
provision, therefore, the strategies put forward in this action plan
will accord with Stockport MBC's environmental/sustainability policy.
