The Strategic Director Place submitted a report(Document “I”) which asked Members to note the progress made on the Stronger Communities Delivery Plan, produced by the Bradford Stronger Communities Partnership. 

The Integration Strategy Programme Lead gave an overview of the activities undertaken, which were detailed in the report and invited Members suggestions on the strategy and delivery plan and issues encountered in the different wards.

In welcoming the progress made and the activities undertaken to date, Members suggested that inclusion was key to delivering a successful programme.

The Lead officer acknowledged that the complex social economic barriers inherent in the City were the very aspects the programme was intending to tackle. One of the main components of the Programme was to improve routes and opportunities into work by improving language skills as well as tackle any other barriers that may exist.
