A COMMUNITY PLAN FOR LINCOLN
Foreword
Welcome to Lincoln’s first Community Plan. We believe it
represents an excellent starting point from which we can
move on together to create a better City for all those of
us who live, work or visit Lincoln.
Prof. David Chiddick
Chair, Lincoln Local Strategic
Partnership & Vice-chancellor,
University of Lincoln
Cllr. Ric Metcalfe
Vice-chair, Lincoln Local Strategic
Partnership & Leader of the City
of Lincoln Council
This Plan has been prepared by the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP)
working with representatives from the public, private, community
and voluntary sector to create a vision for the future of the City.
It is based on work done by the LSP over the last 12 months and
follows an extensive public engagement exercise carried out in the
autumn of 2002.
The Community Plan doesn’t set out to provide all the answers.
It does, however, identify the key issues that you have identified
and that affect the quality of life for people in the City as well
as showing the work that is already going on to address some
of these.
Our aim is to start reviewing this Plan almost immediately. A more
detailed Action Plan will be produced later this year, followed by
further public engagement and a revised Community Plan in May
2004. We want this to be a genuine shared vision and we hope you
will continue to participate in the development of the Plan over the
coming year.
Together we can make a real difference!
All of the partners on the Lincoln LSP, some of whose signatures appear below, are committed to
the achievement of the aims, objectives and targets contained in this Community Plan and will work
together to deliver the targets contained in this document and the Action Plan.

Our City, Our Future – A Community Plan for Lincoln
The Local Government Act 2000 places a statutory duty on local
authorities to prepare a Community Plan, which promotes the
economic, environmental and social well-being of their areas and
contributes to the achievement of sustainable development in the
UK. This Community Plan sets out a long-term vision, backed up by
an Action Plan explaining how its objectives will be achieved.
In Lincoln, this Plan has been developed through the Lincoln Local
Strategic Partnership, a body made up of the key public service
agencies, the private sector, voluntary organisations and community
representatives. All of the partners are committed to working
towards the delivery of the objectives contained in this plan.
The Lincoln Local Strategic Partnership (LSP)
The LSP was created in 2001 and is independently chaired by Prof.
David Chiddick, the Vice-chancellor of the University of Lincoln. It
was originally formed in response to the Neighbourhood Renewal
initiative and has already made use of Government money to back a
number of projects designed to help regenerate the most deprived
communities in the City.
The LSP has also taken on the task of preparing this Community Plan
to promote the interests of Lincoln by identifying common aims and
objectives and finding joined-up ways of responding to these. The
LSP is an open Partnership with its own constitution and operating
arrangements.
The LSP operates at several levels:
The LSP Assembly – meets 4 times a
year to determine the overall aims &
objectives and direct the decisions for
spending the Neighbourhood Renewal
Fund
7 Policy Forums – sub-groups based
on existing partnerships and groups
working to carry out detailed work in
response to the issues. There are
Forums for Health, Education,
Housing, the Environment, Crime,
Jobs and to promote the inclusion
of the Community
The LSP Executive – a smaller
managment Board charged with
implementing the Strategy and Plans
of the LSP Assembly
The principal aim of the LSP is to ensure that we all work together,
to avoid duplication making sure that we maximise the benefit of
all public spending. Much of what is referred to in the Plan links the
work and ideas contained in other strategies and plans of various
partners.
The Vision for Lincoln
We want Lincoln to be a sustainable city with a vibrant
economy, where people and their environment are valued
and lifelong learning and healthy living are promoted. All
the partners will work collectively to achieve this vision.
By sharing the commitment to make Lincoln a better place,
together we can make a real difference
The Community Plan aims to improve the quality of the local
environment and the physical, social and economic well being of
the local community. Lincoln’s Community Plan outlines the vision
for the kind of place that local people want Lincoln to be. The vision
for Lincoln has been developed with LSP partners, working with the
local community and beyond.

The Lincoln area profile
Lincoln is an urban place in a predominantly rural county. It is an
historic city of international significance, yet it also has to provide
for the modern needs of well over 160,000 people (living in Lincoln
and a wide area beyond). It is both a cathedral city and an industrial
city: wonderful old buildings and streets sit alongside large tracts of
derelict and under-used land. Lincoln is, in short, a city of strong
contrasts, offering many advantages as a place to live and work, but
also having serious problems to overcome.
Sustainability
Sustainability means meeting human needs (food, homes, jobs,
leisure) in ways which are fair to all people and which do not
erode the environment or natural resources. It is about providing
a better quality of life, both now and for future generations. How
we use our resources effectively and efficiently is linked to our
surroundings where the aim is to improve and protect them and
not to damage our own environment.
What has happened so far…
The LSP and the City Council jointly published an Issues Paper “Our
City, Our Future” alongside the local plan review in November 2002.
This set out the main challenges facing Lincoln and sought the views
of people across the City and beyond.
The main period of public engagement took place over 6 weeks
from 4th November to 16th December 2002, based on the Issues
Paper and involved a series of meetings with the community and
other interested parties such as schools, elderly and people with
disabilities. A wide range of participation and publicity methods
were employed during the issues stage. Responses were sought
via a pull-out questionnaire in the document. People were also
encouraged to submit any additional issues or comments by letter
or via a dedicated e-mail address.

LSP Sustainability Appraisal
Sustainability checklist
The Environment Policy forum produced
a checklist for 2002/03 to ensure that
NRF funded projects are sustainable.
The main aim of the checklist is to act
as a reminder to all of us to think about
the effects of our actions on social,
economic and environmental issues.
This will not necessarily change WHAT
we do – but it may change HOW we
do it.
Sustainability Champions
The LSP has identified sustainability
champions with individual knowledge on
health, jobs, education, environment &
sustainability, community, crime and
housing. The sustainability champions
are able to offer further information on
the main issues as well as guidance on
the completion of the sustainability
checklist as a part of project submission.
lincoln community plan 2003
The Council asked the Lincoln Community Development Project
(LCDP) to organise and facilitate a community event for each Ward
of the City. These events took the form of a discussion forum
facilitated by LCDP, encouraging discussion around key issues.
Each forum was preceded by an initial exhibition.
A total number of 1,671 questionnaire and letter responses were
received from all sections of the community, including the Lincoln
Youth Council and Age Concern. All the responses were taken into
account and analysed thoroughly.
This Community Plan describes what we see as the key priorities
for Lincoln, details of what we are doing to tackle these and some
targets so that we can measure how we are making progress. The
detailed Action Plan will be published later this year with more
information about what needs doing, who will do it and by when.
What happens next…?
This Plan represents a starting point – not the end of a process.
Work will start on updating this Plan, almost immediately with
further consultation and community participation planned for the
coming year. Our aim is to produce a revised Community Plan with a
set of quality of life indicators at the same time next year, working
progressively towards developing a single vision that we can all
support.
At the end of the document a contact list is provided, telling you
where you can get further information about any plans or strategies
specified in each chapter or if you would like to know more.

1 Creating a Better Environment
Vision: to promote the best possible sustainable
environment and protect it for us and our future generations
Lincoln needs to reduce waste and pollution to levels which do not
threaten the environment’s ability to assimilate them and that do
not adversely affect the natural balance and human health. The LSP
will seek to minimise waste and promote recycling.
Lincoln produced 4.4% more household waste in 1999/00 than
the previous year, highlighting the need to continue to work in
partnership with other bodies to develop an effective strategy to
minimise the amount of waste disposed to landfill.
As a delivery body for the LSP, the City Council is working hard to
promote general public health awareness, healthy lifestyles, travel
awareness and school travel initiatives, recycling, home composting
and material recovery.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ Take action against those dog owners who continue to allow
their dogs to foul in designated areas without clearing up
✱ Reduce graffiti and maintain cleaner streets with less litter
✱ Regular waste collection and recycling facilities within the City
✱ Provide more public toilet facilities in the City Centre and the
south of the City
✱ Stricter approach for littering and fly tipping
✱ Better street lighting facilities required
✱ Need for better cycle ways to discourage cyclists riding on
pavements and make routes safer for cyclists
✱ Tackle areas of poor air quality in Lincoln especially near the
Pelham Bridge area, to improve environmental quality and
reduce adverse health impacts
✱ Make more use of the allotments.
✱ Equip play areas for children and improve equipment in
existing play areas
✱ Reduce the loss of open green space
Lincoln Environment Roundtable
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ The LSP to work in conjunction with local communities to improve
general cleanliness, tackle dog fouling and provide training for
youngsters
❑ Promote recycling and availability of free recycling bins for glass,
metal and paper to each household
❑ Need to encourage people to take up allotments to encourage
exercise, healthy food and community involvement
❑ Establish a central graffiti hotline to report incidents
❑ Preserve existing open space for future generations
❑ Regular sweeping of roads and ensure that every residential
street in Lincoln is swept at least once a week
❑ New homes to be more energy efficient and provide help to
existing homeowners to improve their own homes so as to
be more economical and energy efficient
❑ Increase the level of public awareness of our heritage

lincoln community plan 2003
2 Crime and Community Safety
Vision: to make a positive and sustainable impact on crime,
disorder and anti-social behaviour in order to increase
community safety and improve the quality of life
Tackling the problems of crime and the fear of crime is one of the
major priorities for the LSP. The quality of people’s lives can be
seriously affected if they are the victims of crime or live in fear that
they might be.
Following the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act there has been a joint
approach to dealing with crime; the Police working in partnership
with local authorities and others to look at ways of preventing and
deterring crime whilst diverting people from getting involved in
crime. The Lincoln Crime Reduction Executive (LCRE) has produced
a 3 year crime and disorder reduction strategy that has been
incorporated into this Community Plan.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ Community safety is a high priority across the City. People
want to see more visible police
✱ Improve opportunities for young people
✱ Address the fear of crime
✱ Improve home security of vulnerable people
✱ Tackle alcohol and drug related crime
✱ Poor neighbourhood design make places hard to police and
allows crime to flourish
✱ Tackle racial and hate crime
✱ Need for neighbourhood wardens with mobile phones to back
up the police
✱ Improve the reporting and prosecution of domestic violence
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ Involve local communities, families and young people in local
projects and initiatives
❑ Encourage young people to get involved into local initiatives
and to realise their potential
❑ Design out crime in new developments
❑ Support local partnerships and agencies in the local crime
reduction strategy
❑ Introduce public awareness programmes and leaflets
The Lincoln Crime Reduction Executive
(LCRE), comprises representatives
from:
Lincolnshire Police
City of Lincoln Council
Lincolnshire County Council
Police Authority
National Probation Service
Objectives
The Lincoln Crime Disorder Strategy has the following key objectives:
❖ To increase public safety by reducing crime, disorder, anti-social
behaviour and the fear of crime
❖ To enable young people to reach their full potential by living
positive lifestyles
❖ To reduce the negative impacts of the use and the misuse of
drugs and alcohol on the people of Lincoln
❖ To ensure effective partnership working with other agencies and
the community

Actions/Initiatives
✯ The Lincoln City Centre Partnership has undertaken a number of
initiatives including the appointment of a City Centre Manager to
promote ‘a safer city at night’ scheme, a citizen card scheme.
✯ Some other ongoing projects are: multi agency ‘Escape’ project
through the school summer holidays; a ‘Youth Council’; and a
pilot scheme undertaken with the Fire Service to provide an input
to primary schools literacy hours by reading safety messages to
the children such as ‘stranger danger’ and the misuse of the 999
system.
✯ Deployment of police community support officers from April 2003.
✯ Police enforcement of road safety and traffic legislation.
✯ In 2002/03 the LSP has allocated Neighbourhood Renewal Fund
(NRF) money to two projects designed to reduce both crime and
the fear of crime: first a contribution to the purchase of an
additional camera for the CCTV network and second, a
contribution to an upgrade of street lighting in the residential
areas of Abbey Ward where there is a particularly high rate of
domestic burglary.
The strategic aim of the Crime and
Disorder strategy is:
“to keep Lincoln a safe and pleasant
city in which to live, work, learn and
socialise”
8
lincoln community plan 2003
3 Promoting Social Inclusion
Vision: to promote equality, opportunity and social inclusion
People are socially excluded when they are not able to participate
fully in society, for example when they have low incomes, are
excluded from work, have poor health, cannot access leisure and
cultural facilities, generally find it hard to access public services or
are unable to participate in the decisions affecting their lives.
However, social exclusion is also experienced by sections of the
community, perhaps because they are old, or young or come from
a different ethnic, cultural or religious background or experience
mobility problems.
The problems of social exclusion and poverty are usually the result
of a combination of linked problems and tackling those underlying
causes lies at the heart of this Community Plan. Social exclusion can
affect communities and neighbourhoods – this is why Lincoln has
been allocated money under the Governments Neighbourhood
Renewal Fund.
The LSP has already prepared its first Neighbourhood Renewal
Strategy (NRS) and is currently working to review this for Autumn
2003. During the lifetime of this Plan, the City Council will work to
produce a Social Inclusion and Anti-Poverty Strategy to be developed
through the Partners on the LSP. The Council Affordable Warmth
Strategy has already identified fuel poverty as a key social issue.
Issues identified through the public engagement
Neighbourhood Renewal Fund
✱ Diversity of Lincoln’s population is changing with growing
proportion of BME people in the community – this issue needs
to be addressed
✱ A sense that local people are not really listened to
✱ Lack of public transport
✱ Lack of activities for young people
✱ Some people in the community may need additional support
and assistance i.e. ethnic minorities, the elderly, people with
disabilities, young mums etc.
In 2001 the Government established the
Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF) to
tackle the underlying causes of
deprivation and social exclusion. Backed
up by a major report on social exclusion,
the NRF was allocated to the 88 local
authority areas in England that have the
highest average levels of deprivation.
Lincoln was one of those areas and in
total is receiving £1.7m over 5 years.
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ Using sport and recreational activity as a means of developing
inclusive communities, especially looking to expand leisure
provisions and encourage walking, cycling and play as means
of improving health
❑ Looking at the charging regimes for access to arts and cultural
events to enable low income people to participate
❑ Tackling racial discrimination and harassment
❑ Encouraging more people from BME population to take up
employment opportunities
❑ The process of public engagement should be continued and
sustained community facilities need to be developed in
conjunction with local people, not ‘imposed’ on them
9
The focus of the NRF is to help create a
more inclusive society and to address
the underlying causes of deprivation.
The money is being allocated by the LSP
and already £0.5m has been spent on a
range of projects across Lincoln. The
objective is that in the future no-one
should be seriously disadvantaged by
where they live and every citizen should
have access to services that are designed
to meet their particular needs.
lincoln community plan 2003
❑ Provide more things for local people to do and more
neighbourhood offices
❑ Look at policies on debt collection and benefit advice for people
on low incomes
Objectives
❖ No one should be disadvantaged by where they live
❖ To increase the capacity of the community to participate in all
aspects of City life
❖ To improve energy efficiency in the Council’s housing stock and
encourage and assist the provision of affordable warmth in
private sector housing
❖ To work with the Racial Equality Council and other groups on
ensuring minorities are able to participate in local life
Targets
At this time there are no specific targets for tackling Social Inclusion.
They will be developed as part of the proposed strategy.
To develop a comprehensive Social Inclusion and Anti-poverty
Strategy & Action Plan during 2003/04
The Council is committed to ensuring that by 2010, all of its
housing stock will have the benefit of central heating and
that all of its 8,800 properties will be ‘decent homes’.
Review the Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy (LNRS), in
order to identify all the priority communities across the City and
seek to develop new approaches to tackling social exclusion and
deprivation

4 Transport and Access
Vision: “to ensure the widest possible access to the City’s
services and facilities by safe, efficient and reliable means of
transport while minimising the impact of transport on the
environment”
The LSP’s objective is to ensure that the development of the City
balances the transport needs across Lincoln. The LSP will work
through the City of Lincoln’s Local Plan and Balanced Transport
Strategy to reduce car dependency through the provision of
acceptable alternative means of transport i.e. public transport,
cycling and walking, while restraining the use of private car via
parking management and other traffic restraint measures. The LSP
will also work with the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership (LRSP)
to reduce road traffic accidents and improve road safety for all users
The LSP aims to improve the health of Lincoln’s residents, workers
and visitors, meeting the needs of the economy and attracting
inward investment and also meeting the social needs of those who
do not enjoy the same freedom of mobility as the rest of the
population.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ More and cheaper car parking facilities in the City Centre
✱ Need for good quality affordable public transport services at all
hours especially from City to villages
✱ Need for more integrated transport system
✱ Road safety issue of high priority
✱ Motorcyclists create more noise and air pollution
✱ Our needs for goods and services should be met locally to avoid
travel where possible
✱ Better facilities for the pedestrians, cyclists and people with
mobility difficulties
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ Involve schools and college students in delivering effective traffic
education and road safety training to young road users
❑ Use of publications to stop drink driving and reduce road collisions
❑ Make safer routes for school children with school patrol wardens
Objectives
Overall, the approach is to:
❖ Make all forms of transport safe and affordable
❖ Ensure people are not excluded because of a lack of choice
❖ Encourage walking and cycling for those who are able,
especially for short distances
❖ Minimise adverse environmental impact of transport and
congestion and pollution
11
Community Travel Zone (CTZ)
CTZs are an important strategy within
Lincolnshire’s Local Transport Plan (LTP),
which the County Council has to submit
to the Government as a bid for funding
and to show how it is going to meet the
transport needs of its local communities
with their involvement, by providing
facilities to encourage more people to
cycle, walk or use public transport
instead of the private car.
lincoln community plan 2003
Targets
To develop a network of Greenways and Quiet Roads within,
initially, an approximate 8 mile radius of Lincoln City Centre;
to be delivered in an ongoing programme of works as resources
allow and to be completed within a target date of 2010
To achieve a 20% increase in train travel into Lincoln by 2006
To achieve the target for peak hour traffic congestion in Greater
Lincoln and other places, i.e return to 2000 levels by 2006
Increase the amount of cycling by 50% by 2006 on routes or within
areas where measures are implemented
To reduce fatal and serious road casualties by 20% by 2006
To achieve 50% increase in the amount of walking on routes or
within areas where measures are implemented
Overall objective of the LRSP is to reduce the number of road
collisions in the County to achieve the national targets to make
tomorrow’s roads safer for everyone by 2010
Actions/Initiatives
✯ Bikewise, a basic training scheme is offered through schools to
reduce road collisions
✯ “Linc walking” is a pedestrian training programme introduced in
all Lincolnshire schools.
✯ Walking bus initiatives, school travel plans
✯ Community Travel Zones
✯ Road Safety shows, speed reduction seminars, drink driving
rehabilitation course, and Staying Alive are some of the other
initiatives taking place in Lincolnshire
✯ Use planning system to locate most new services in the City
Centre and District Centres
✯ Lincoln Greenways Strategy implementation
Home Zones
This is an initiative aimed at providing
new or changing existing streets, so
that they are designed for people rather
than the cars. Some see it more
modestly as a way of trying to restore
the safety and peace in neighbourhoods
that are becoming overwhelmed with
speeding traffic.

5 Addressing Housing Needs
Vision: to improve the availability of public and private
housing and ensure that they provide decent homes
The current housing supply in Lincoln is predominantly owneroccupied housing, although the Council retains a major role as a
housing provider. There is also a growing gap between house prices
in Lincoln and what people can afford to pay for rent and
mortgages.
Having secure and appropriate housing is fundamental to people’s
well-being and therefore one of the key objectives in this plan. The
City has about 36,500 households with a mixture of owner-occupiers,
privately rented homes and Council homes. Meeting the housing
needs of the City’s growing and changing population will be a
major challenge for all of the partners in the LSP.
These issues are being dealt with through the Council’s Local Plan in
terms of new developments, the Housing Strategy and work with
registered social landlords. There are many issues that will need to
be dealt with in the coming years – changing population and
demands for the type of housing; a growing number of single
people; reduce the demand for family homes; and trying to
maintain affordability so that everyone is able to secure a home
for themselves.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ “More homes” rather than “better homes”
✱ Too many family dwellings are being converted to HMOs/
student housing
✱ Inclusive communities with mixture and diversity
(including students)
✱ Action required addressing long term empty Council properties

❑ Park Ward could be considered for Renewal Area status
❑ Soundproofing in Council properties
❑ Landlords should be registered and made responsible for
tenants’ behaviour

Objectives
❖ To develop the Housing Policy Forum to ensure that the delivery
of Decent Homes through the City Council and Housing
Association partners forms part of the wider strategy for
neighbourhood renewal and community cohesion.
❖ To ensure that there continues to be an adequate choice and
range of dwellings available providing a mix of dwelling types and
tenures, including meeting the need for affordable housing and
the needs of specific groups.
❖ To ensure that all social housing, including Council Housing meets
set standards of decency by 2010 in line with the Government’s
Public Service Agreement.
Targets
The City of Lincoln Council has set the following targets for the next
3 years:
Review the Council’s Housing Needs Survey in order to have up
to date information on affordable housing need (Spring 2004)
Secure resources to undertake a private sector housing stock
condition survey in order to ascertain the level and location of
dilapidated housing (Summer 2004)
Implement a Local Registration Scheme with student and HMO
landlords (end of 2003)
Review local housing grants policy from July 2003
Continue to work in co-operation and partnership with local
housing associations and registered social landlords in the
assessment of housing need and the identification of suitable
sites for development
Implement country wide and City homelessness strategy from
July 2003
Review of allocation policy by April 2004
Independent Lincoln Commission review options for the future
management for council housing in Lincoln by end of 2003
subject to satisfactory progress
Initiatives
Lincolnshire Supporting People Vision
“Working in partnership to provide
high quality supported accommodation
services to vulnerable people that
promote social inclusion, help prevent
deterioration and so, help them to
remain independent”
(draft, Lincolnshire County Council,
May 2002)
In 2002/03 the LSP funded a feasibility study to extend the Phoenix
project that renovated a number of properties for families. The
original scheme combined training in building skills for young
unemployed people with a programme to return derelict and unfit
homes to use. The new initiative could be self-financing providing a
sustainable means of renewing housing in the poorest neighbourhoods,
which might otherwise be ignored by private developers.

6 Lifelong Learning
Vision: to increase levels of achievement and provision of
learning opportunities for all
The success of the education sector in Lincoln is crucial to the
economic and social well being of the community. Lincoln has
emerged in recent years as a significant centre of learning, the most
prominent development being the opening of the University in 1996
but this has not been the only focus of change with developments
elsewhere in the higher and further education sectors.
But the learning needs of the City do not stop at the age of 16 or at
the school gate. Working through the Local Learning Partnership we
need to address the challenge of lifelong learning. Learning includes
access to skills and retraining and addressing the problems of basic
skills that leaves as many as 25% of adults in Lincoln with
inadequate literacy and numeracy skills.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱
✱
✱
✱
✱
Problems in gaining access to special needs education
Children need to be taught to take care of their environment
Lack of secondary provision that is ‘good’ enough
Parental choice is a myth
Because schools draw pupils from a wider area they cease to
be the hub of a local community
✱ Lack of access to financial literacy education at school levels
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ Encouraging lifelong learning through voluntary &
community efforts
❑ Make greater community use of school buildindings
Objectives
❖ To ensure that our children receive the best possible education
that prepares them to contribute to and participate in society
❖ To ensure that as many of our young people as possible are
encouraged to consider the continuing training and educational
needs when their formal education comes to an end, linking to
the emerging 14-19 curriculums for vocational learning
❖ Encourage opportunities for training available to all sections of
the community to enhance personal development
❖ Increase the proportion of Lincoln school children that move on
to further or higher education at 16/18
❖ Working with employers in every sector to ensure that Lincoln’s
workforce has access to appropriate training and development to
maintain the City’s competitiveness

Targets
The local LSC Basic Skills target is 8,558 individuals to have
improved their literacy, numeracy or language skills by 2004
The Local Learning Partnership will prepare during 2003 a
comprehensive Learning Plan, linking all levels of education
and training across the City
Additionally, Lincolnshire County Council has adopted an Education
Development Plan for the period 2002-2007 that sets out a number
of targets for the LEA in providing this first stage of education
By 2003, ensure that 84% of children achieve level 4 or higher for
English & Maths at Key Stage 2 and that for Level 5 the
percentage is 33% for English and 34% for Maths
By 2004, to increase that level to 86%, 26% and 35% respectively1
By 2003 to ensure that 57% of children in Y11 get 5 GCSE passes
graded A*-C and 93% get 5 GCSE passes graded A*-G including
English & Maths
By 2004 to increase these targets to 59% and 94% respectively
Raising the performance of the worst performing schools in
the City
Actions/Initiatives
The following activities are currently under way:
✯ A primary school breakfast and after school club for pupils
from some priority neighbourhoods helps to tackle
joblessness and provide a healthy diet and affordable

7 Jobs and Regeneration
Vision: to promote a sustainable economy by improving the
employment prospects of our communities
The LSP is committed to strengthening Lincoln’s economy through
encouraging inward investment, whilst developing a sustainable
economy by improving the employment prospects of our
communities. Tourism is making an increasingly key contribution to
Lincoln’s economy and is estimated to be worth £118 million per
annum to the City. The tourist industry supports approximately
3,700 jobs in Lincoln.
Employment patterns in Lincoln are shifting away from the City’s
historic manufacturing and heavy engineering market.
Approximately half of the projected job growth in Lincoln is
expected to be based in the City Centre and District Centres in
cultural and service sector jobs
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ Not enough is done to promote the City as a tourist destination
✱ Lincoln’s tourist economy should not be promoted at the expense
of local people
✱ New jobs in the tourism sector can provide unemployed local
people with jobs
✱ Lincoln’s developing evening and nighttime economies should
be inclusive
✱ Need to encourage access by ethnic minorities into employment
✱ Utilising the skills of older people should be a priority
✱ Skills shortages affect the ability of Lincoln citizens to compete in
the job market
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ More skills related training should be provided to allow local
people to compete in the job market
❑ Improve the range of shopping in the City Centre
❑ Encourage employment development close to where people live
to reduce the need to travel
Objectives
Jobs Profile in Lincoln (2001)
❖ Develop a diverse economy that makes significant local
investments and pays good wages
❖ Delivering focused career support and initiatives training to the
unemployed; people already in jobs at present; and to new
job seekers to match with jobs that exist in the local economy
❖ Improving linkage and accessibility within the City Centre and
encouraging exploration by visitors and residents
❖ To grow Lincoln’s economy by encouraging inward investment
and supporting existing and new local businesses
❖ Use of the 2003 Skills Survey to identify the priorities for raising
skills level and developing Lincoln’s workforce

£400,000 and SRB funding of over £600,000 is contributing to
infrastructure works to open up 40 hectares for private sector
employment investment
✯ EU funding of £500,000 and £500,000 of SRB money, together
with City and County Council investment, supported
improvements to the Allenby Road Industrial Estate
✯ European funding of £750,000 secured to develop the City Centre
as an attractive and vibrant destination for residents and visitors
through the “Liveable City” project

9 Promoting Healthy Communities
Vision: to improve the physical and mental health and well
being of the people of Lincoln and reduce health inequalities
Health is one of the areas where the importance of other issues
raised in this Community Plan can have a major impact on our
success in tackling the problems. Access to decent housing and
education, whether or not someone is in work, are all factors that
will impinge on our health and are important factors that need to
be considered in the action plan.
The startling facts are that life expectancy at birth in Lincoln is lower
than England and Wales as a whole and that the City’s teenage
pregnancy rate is higher than the average for the East Midlands and
England & Wales. This is an area that needs urgent attention.
Already work has been done to identify the main causes of ill health
and premature death in Lincoln – heart disease, cancer, accidents
and suicides are principal amongst them – and to look at new ways
of reducing these.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ Need to provide more accessible and affordable sports/leisure
facilities
✱ Encourage gardening and use of allotments for growing food
✱ Poor GP and dentist provision in some areas
✱ Value of parks and open spaces to both physical & mental health
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ Promote greater use of allotments for healthy eating and
physical exercise
❑ Encouraging sports programmes in schools
Objectives
❖ Monitor the key determinants of poor health and increase the
overall life expectancy at birth
❖ Promote good health and well being by seeking to reduce
smoking, increase exercise levels and improve diet.
❖ Address the issues related to unwanted pregnancies

Targets
The West Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust Health Plan 2003-2006 has
set targets for reducing health inequalities and for securing the
provision of services with some of the key priorities such as:
Contribute to a national reduction in death rates from Coronary
Heart Disease (CHD) of at least 25% in people under 75 by 2005,
compared to 1995/97 targeting of 20% areas with the highest
rate (CHD)
Contribute to a national reduction in cancer death rates of at
least 12% in people under 75 by 2005, targeting the 20% of areas
with the highest rates of cancer
To reduce the proportion of women who smoke during pregnancy
from 23% to 18% by 2005 and to 15% by 2010
Achieve agreed local teenage conception reduction targets while
reducing the gap in rates between the worst 20 wards and the
average by at least a quarter in line with the national targets.
Reduce the death rate from accidents by at least 20% and serious
injury by at least 10% by 2010 in people of all ages
Actions/Initiatives
✯ The LSP has concentrated on programmes that will enable and
encourage people to improve their own health by changing the
ways in which they can access appropriate advice and services.
✯ The LSP supported projects designed to provide health and fitness
advice within the community, targeting schools and preparing the
way for a GP referral programme which has been granted funding
for the next 2 years.
✯ Other programmes include schemes to encourage a healthy start
to life through a programme for young mothers to exercise with
their babies and the doorstep walking programme which
encourages people to take simple exercise to improve fitness
and general health.
Did You Know?
Lincoln has a worse record on general
public health than the average of
England & Wales.
The overall life expectancy for men being
2 years less than the national average
and in some areas 6 years less.
✯ Young people, particularly those excluded from school, have
problems accessing and using health services and advice. This
includes an unwillingness to engage with the family doctor or
school health service. A programme to offer advice through other
routes, such as the Youth Service, was established.
✯ New approaches to high rates of teenage pregnancy include
theatre projects to encourage young people to consider all
aspects of sexual health.
The main causes of premature death are
heart disease and cancer and the main
contributors are smoking, diet and
lifestyle.

9 Leisure and Culture
Vision: for Lincoln to be renowned for its range of
arts and culture and to achieve strong and healthy
communities by promoting leisure and sporting activities
A vibrant cultural life is an essential part of Lincoln’s local
distinctiveness and contributes to the attraction of Lincoln to
visitors. A good range of leisure and sporting activities provides
worthwhile activity for people’s leisure time.
Participation in these improves personal fitness levels and enhances
the health and well being of the community as a whole. The LSP
and the City of Lincoln Council aim to provide the opportunity for
people in every part of the City and from all walks of life to benefit
from leisure and cultural facilities.
Issues identified through public engagement
✱ Lack of free or affordable and accessible leisure facilities for
young people and the older population
✱ Need for public access to swimming pools in term times during
the daytime
✱ More recreational play areas for children needed
✱ Open spaces are unsafe
✱ Facilities for 8-15 year olds are considered poor in the south
of the City. Young people need meeting facilities, such as youth
shelters, skate parks, leisure facilities
Community suggestions for tackling the above issues
❑ Build partnerships with community groups and encourage
local people to express their ideas in arts, culture and sport
❑ Provide activities in school holidays
❑ All sports centres should be fully equipped for all age groups
and there should be a greater range of activities
❑ Encourage people to take part in local events through reduced
and free entry
