Health in the borough is good. We have the highest life expectancy of any borough in England and Wales. However there are differences between the most disadvantaged people and communities and the rest of the population. There is a difference in life expectancy of ten years, and a three-fold difference in age-adjusted limiting long-term illness, between the healthiest and unhealthiest wards.
This strategy sets its sights on integrating strategies and actions to meet the diverse needs of local communities now and in the future. It seeks to contribute to a high quality of life and to provide opportunity and choice by enhancing the environment, promoting social cohesion and inclusion as well as strengthening economic prosperity. In short, to create a healthy sustainable community.
