Learnings

We are working closely with Local Authority, Community, Health and Education partners to coordinate investment across and within priority wards, and are seeking to create a more integrated sense of place within the communities and generating insight and learnings.

The activity levels of any given person are beyond the influence of leisure centre opening hours, council strategies or even that person’s own motivation.

The priority ward areas are selected using a combination of National Data and align with the economic regeneration corridors.
