A community strategy (strictly speaking a "sustainable community strategy" (SCS) further to the Sustainable Communities Act 2007[1] is a long-term strategy for the economic, social and environmental well-being of a local authority area in England.
Community strategies were first mandated under section 4 of the Local Government Act 2000[2] (c. 22), which then related to England and Wales, although subsequent legislation has separated the provisions into discrete statutes for each nation.
Every principal Local Authority must have a Community Strategy 'for promoting or improving the economic, social and environmental well-being of their areas, and contributing to the achievement of sustainable development in the UK'.
