Part Two: Annual Work Programme 2012/2013 This is the annual work programme for the Trust, presented based on the eight themes and business outcomes featured in Section 5.2 (page 14)
Business outcomes:
The Trust will operate within the following outcomes framework:-‐
Governance and business strategy A Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust that provides effective and inclusive governance, enabling a strong partnership to develop creative and innovative approaches to the Park’s long-‐term resourcing and management.
Communities and Open Space A Regional Park that celebrates its distinctive character, the diversity of local communities, engaging residents at all stages of the park’s development and providing an open space resource that improves their quality of life.
Climate Change A Regional Park that acts as a best practice model for utilising the potential of an open space network in adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change, and that encourages its users to adopt “climate change-‐proof” behaviours.
Natural Environment A Regional Park rich in biodiversity with a healthy and thriving River providing a living landscape that is accessible to all.
Regeneration and Economy A Regional Park with a distinct identity that encourages growth and regeneration, attracting and retaining competitive businesses and a skilled workforce
Travel and Connectivity A Regional Park with integrated public transport links and extensive Greenways network, facilitating a thriving business environment and encouraging people to choose car-‐free travel alternatives such as walking or cycling.
Heritage and Culture A regional park with a rich and unique heritage, �contributing to a brand that helps define the ‘park offer’ -‐ boosting all aspects of development and tourism, facilitating business growth and encouraging a shared community identity.
Health & Active Recreation A Regional Park offering a vibrant mix of leisure activities that attract all members of the community and contribute to the Wandle Valley NHS – the local ‘natural health service’.
The work programme comprises an action plan for each of the outcomes. There is a main focus on 2012/2013 financial year, but with reference to where actions are likely to continue into 2013/14 and 2015/16 Under each theme, actions are divided into two categories:-‐
a) Directed (or controlled) projects (ie those to be delivered using resources controlled by the Trust)
b) Influenced projects (ie those projects led by partner organisations that are strategically important for the Trust and the regional park) A number of projects relate to more than one outcome, in which case they are included in the action plan where there is the strongest fit.
Please note that a significant number of actions are still the subject of discussion and development with the respective partner organisations and Working Groups where appropriate, leading to the frequent use of tbc in the schedules. As such, like the Business Plan as a whole, this is a working document that will be subject to ongoing review and updating during the formative first 12 months of the Trust’s operations.
