Community Cohesion Sample Clauses
The Community Cohesion clause is designed to promote unity and positive relationships among members of a group, organization, or community.

Community Cohesion. Reading Borough Council has a long history of promoting equalities and has various strategies in place with a real commitment to moving forward on community cohesion – a key element in reducing the uneven nature of social, economic and environmental well-being in Reading. A recent independent review of Community Cohesion and Equalities undertaken in 2006 presents many examples of good practice and partnership working in the town, with the Borough council and Reading 2020 partners investing significant resources into services that promote community cohesion. However, there are still a number of challenges and areas for improvement which have been highlighted during the consultation process. While many of the selected targets impact indirectly on community cohesion, the volunteering targets will make a particular contribution. The Reading 2020 Partnership’s aim for the environment is ‘to provide clean, attractive and diverse environments that will contribute to a better quality of life for everyone’ and to ‘deliver a wide range of services that together maintain, protect and enhance Reading’s natural and built resources and promote environmental awareness and responsibility across the community’. Reading’s environment will be seen in the context of an urban centre in the Thames Valley, responding to the sustainable development pressures in an area of growth. We see Reading as leading good practice in addressing the wider, longer-term impacts of economic activity both locally and globally. New development will be more sustainable and contribute positively to Reading’s environment, and to the wider needs of the community. New buildings will be well-designed and landscaped and incorporate best practice for water and energy efficiency. The waste we produce will be reduced, re-used and recycled as appropriate. Key issues for Reading include: Protecting the natural environment; Managing the built environment; Sustainable use of resources; Pollution and waste minimisation; Promoting environmental citizenship. Reading consumes vast amounts of energy derived from non-renewable fossil fuels and contributes to global warming through greenhouse gas / carbon dioxide emissions. As a result of climate change, Reading’s weather patterns are becoming more extreme, with less rainfall predicted during the summer. As a community we must all find ways to reduce energy consumption and to tap into sources of renewable energy. The Council is currently working with the Carbon Trust’...
Community Cohesion. Deliver community cohesion through joint work with people of different faiths, cultures and ethnic backgrounds As part of this Local Area Agreement we have also negotiated a Reward Element. This identifies a number of priority areas where we have agreed to ‘stretch’ our performance. In practice this means that the Partnership will agree with Government that we will achieve levels of performance over and above that which we would normally expect to achieve i.e. the ‘stretch’. Eleven priority areas are identified and are summarised below. The full Reward Element is at Appendix A.
Community Cohesion. An LRT down the middle of a highly populated EJ residential and business section of the corridor will create a physical obstacle creating a social barrier between communities north and south of University Avenue. Also, the Aurora St. Anthony neighborhood that was once separated in the 1960’s with the building of the adjacent freeway from the larger Historic African American Rondo community will once again be isolated and sandwiched in between two physical barriers, I-94 and the LRT University Avenue alignment. As a mitigation alternative, take a current revitalizing opportunity to transform the shame of a past transportation development misdeed and turn it into one of healing and restoration. Acknowledge, respect and take responsibility by apologizing for the destruction to the vibrant African American Rondo community due to the construction of I-94. Honor the fact that restoration is owed as a result of the demolishing of a combined 650 homes and businesses. Now, support the growing culturally centered revitalization vision that is supported within the 2006 District 8 Comprehensive Plan and dubbed as a “cultural heritage preservation destination.” Enact to redesign the Dale Avenue intersection and Bridge as a gateway to the heart of the Rondo community. Artistically depict the I-94 story and symbolize the reunification of divided souls. Support current efforts being designed by this community to heal the wounds of this past and create a community controlled Rondo Renaissance Community Restoration Trust Fund through the use of developer exactions, real estate tax transfers or extractions from parking or transit fares not only as an anti-gentrification tool but to help retain the character of the community and to help finance its re-development aspirations (i.e. cultural/history center, small business incubators and below market rate housing).
Community Cohesion. Will the project induce impacts to community cohesion? Yes No The project will induce positive impacts throughout the S.R. 0001 , Sections RC1 and RC2 project corridor by incorporating pedestrian access and movement to commercial and business facilities and modal transfer stations where feasible.

ADA ramps will be provided as necessary throughout the Section RC1 corridor to improve accessibility for the surrounding community. Pedestrian and bicycle facility studies are on-going for the S.R. 0001, Section RC2 project study area and they will be completed prior to the start of construction.

Community Cohesion. We will work to increase cohesion around our changing population; building a borough based on mutual respect and understanding within and between our diverse communities. We will work in partnership to strengthen the capacity of voluntary sector organisations to deliver citizen-led services and solutions and support self help and community-led activities. We want to continue to make Southwark a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together. Strengthening community cohesion is seen as central to everything we do and will be at the heart of delivering against our LAA impact areas. Whilst delivering our priorities will contribute to strengthening community cohesion it is also important that in designing the action plans to deliver the LAA priorities we consider any impacts on community cohesion. Our success in engaging and empowering communities has recently received external validation by the borough being chosen as one of 18 National Empowerment Champions.
