Sedgefield Together Partnership

The Sedgefield Together Partnership is open to all in Sedgefield.
It meets every six months - on the 4th Monday of March and September in the Parish Hall.
In addition the Steering Group meets on a regular basis and consists of representatives from local statutory bodies, community groups etc.

A virtual network has now been established and is open to everyone to join. If you would like to be included please register with jane@sedgefield.net

Minutes and Agendas for the meetings are also available here.

One of the most important tasks which Sedgefield Together has undertaken is the revision of the Town Plan. A presentation which outlines the plan can be viewed here.
Background
With the demise of Sedgefield Borough Council as part of the local government re-organization in this area and the subsequent creation of the new unitary authority based on the existing County Durham area it was apparent that there would be a large divide between the local services provided at the town/parish level and the strategic county.  It was with this in mind that the Town Council have looked to establish a new group/partnership which brings together the very local groups and statutory bodies to discuss and hopefully solve issues of mutual interest. 
This new Group is the Sedgefield Together Partnership
In order to establish the overall partnership a Steering group was established made up of representatives from local groups including businesses, community organisations, statutory authorities etc.

Sedgefield Together: Aims
a)      To formulate a community strategy for Sedgefield
b)        To enable the Group to gain the views of the wider community
c)        To be instrumental in providing links to the new Unitary Authority

Sedgefield Together Objectives
To promote and develop the social, economic and environmental well-being of Sedgefield
 In particular Sedgefield Together will: -

  • Cooperate with other charities, voluntary bodies and statutory authorities to further the aims as above
  • Exchange information and advice with other groups

A properly established constitution identifies all relevant matters.
