The city council has produced a draft anti-poverty strategy and is seeking your views.
The strategy aims to improve the standard of living and daily lives of those residents in Cambridge who are currently experiencing poverty, but also to alleviate issues that can lead households on low incomes to experience financial pressures. The strategy will bring greater focus to the Council's existing efforts to address poverty, while identifying areas where the Council can have even greater impact, including through working in partnership with companies based in Cambridge. In particular the City Council is seeking your views on whether:
- it has understood the nature and impact of poverty in the city;
- it has identified objectives that will help alleviate poverty in the city;
- it has identified actions that will make a difference; and
- there is evidence to suggest we should be exploring any other possible courses of action or intervention.
