Allerdale's Vision
Allerdale - a great place to live, work and visit
A great place to live means:
We aim to improve the quality of our
natural, physical and built environment to create a safer, better
connected and healthier borough where everyone can find a home that
suits them.
- Transport and
infrastructure: By 2011 Allerdale will have contributed
actively to the development of more sustainable and accessible
transport systems, which will reduce the negative effects of
transport on people’s quality of life
- Healthy and safe
communities: By 2011 Allerdale will work with partner
agencies to reduce overall levels of crime and disorder, fear of
crime and narrowed health inequalities across the borough
- Environment: By 2011
the percentage of residents satisfied with their environment will
be in the top performing 25% of district councils
- Housing: By 2011
Allerdale will have made progress towards more balanced housing
markets
A great place to work means:
We aim to promote, regenerate and
sustain our local towns and villages, their economies and
communities.
- Job creation: By
2011 Allerdale will work with regional and local partners to ensure
the number of people in work, as measured by the Economic Activity

delighted to find the area clean and green, peaceful and welcoming;
visitors are invited to join with local people in enjoying a wide
range of cultural activities and a popular programme of
festivals.
- Tourism: By 2011
Allerdale will work with partners to deliver increased wealth into
the local economy through greater visitor numbers, higher visitor
spend and the creation of new tourism related jobs

We aim to develop the ability of the Council by
working with our partners to respond to the needs of the community
and by doing so make Allerdale Borough Council an outstanding
employer and provider of services.
