Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) Without Walls

What is Without Walls?

For many people, York is a great place to live and the city has many assets.  But what sort of place do we want York to be in the future?  Is enough being done to make the best use of our assests for everyone's benefit?  And how can we build on the city's distinctiveness to improve it still further?

There are huge opportunities for the city that will shape th enext 30 years.  In addition there are challenges such as congestion, rising house prices and skills shortages, which we need to deal with in order to remain competitive.

Without Walls is a group of people who are working together to develop a shared vision to improve quality of life for people in the city.  This partnership (officially the Local Strategic Partnership or LSP) is made up of representatives from public, voluntary agencies and local businesses.

The result of their work is the Sustainable Community Strategy, based around seven 'themes'.  These themes cover areas on which to concentrate to improve the quality of life for everyone in the city over the next 20 years or so.

The themes are:

  • A sustainable City
  • A Thriving City
  • A Learning City
  • A City of Culture
  • A Safer City
  • A Healthy City
  • An Inclusive City
