Why this ambition is important for Bath and North East Somerset

This ambition is about partners working together to improve local services and plan for the future, and about valuing creativity. Working together is sometimes difficult, as not all agencies in Bath and North East Somerset have a common boundary.  Organisational barriers can also prevent effective joint working.

However, people expect service providers to work together to develop solutions to local issues and problems. They also expect high standards of customer service and value for money from local services.

One of the ways we can achieve the ambitions set out in this strategy is by thinking creatively and finding new ways of working together. Improvements occur when we build upon the creativity of our local communities. An example of local creativity is a project called ‘Just Art’. This uses arts to encourage young offenders to become more aware of the effect crime has on victims.
