North Lincolnshire Council has approved a 10-year Health and Wellbeing Strategy designed to increase healthy life expectancy across the region. The plan sets a long-term framework for improving outcomes by focusing on the local conditions that shape daily life.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Society should be judged on how it treats its older people – and we’re working hard to enable them to live longer, to be fitter, stronger and happier.”
The strategy highlights several priority areas, including safer public spaces, expanded access to green environments, stronger early-years support, earlier intervention to reduce preventable illness, and initiatives that help older residents stay active and independent. It places neighbourhoods at the centre of health improvement, with a focus on prevention rather than treatment.
The council, NHS partners, employers, community organisations, and residents are expected to contribute to delivery. The strategy also directs investment and resources toward supporting families before issues escalate, creating healthier environments and enabling communities to shape local change.
