A Local Area Agreement (LAA) is a short-term action
plan for making the vision of the Sustainable Community
Strategy (SCS) a reality. All the outcomes and
targets are designed to deliver the vision set out
in the SCS. You can find more general
information on the LAA page of the Department of Communities and Local
Government website.
The current Local Area Agreement (LAA),
which was produced in March 2008 and covers the period
2008 to 2011, sets out the performance framework for the
SCS. In March 2010, the targets within the LAA were
refreshed and this, with the full suite of LAA documents,
can be found here. In
defining these priorities, the partnership adopted the
following criteria:
-
have a cross-cutting impact upon the 28 objectives of the
SCS;
-
require joined-up, effective partnership interventions to
address them;
-
matter to local people;
-
represent areas of current poor performance;
-
reduce inequality or deprivation; and
-
enhance the sense and and quality of place, recognising
that it differs across the county
To underpin its delivery, four Action Plans were produced
relating to:
Prepared by the former NSP Sector Boards, these will be kept
under review as part of the re-evaluation of the
SCS. However, an overview of progress for the first year
of the LAA's implementation is available here .
Quarterly reports on performance of the LAA is available on
the Northumberland County Council website and can
be viewed by following this link.
