Quality of Life in Hampshire Report

Preface
 

Hampshire is the third largest shire county in England.  Its rural image, rich wildlife and varied landscape belie many of the realities of its numerous urban and rural communities.

In 2004 the Hampshire Strategic Partnership produced a Community Strategy for Hampshire with an action plan designed to ensure a better quality of life for everyone, both now and in the future. In 2006 having considered all the possible measures and explored the information available, the Partnership decided on a number of headline themes that relate to the aims of the Community Strategy for Hampshire to represent the quality of life in Hampshire. The publication ‘A Quality of Life Report 2006’ outlined performance against each of those themes.

That report was essentially a snapshot in time. This report develops that snapshot further by presenting data on trends and filling some of the gaps identified by those commentating on the previous report. The Partnership will continue to develop the approach in future years: refining the themes, expanding trend data, developing the evidence, and indicating how the plans and programmes of individual members might be better aligned and integrated to achieve more beneficial outcomes.
