Local Strategic Partnerships

The Government Office for the East of England acts as a facilitator to support the development of Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs). We provide a direct channel of communication between LSPs and central government, promote networking among partners and other LSPs, and offer support on the development of Community Strategies.

What are LSPs?

Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) are single non-statutory bodies that bring together local public, private, community and voluntary organisations, generally at the level of District, County and Unitary councils. They work with the local community to identify and tackle key issues such as crime, unemployment, education, health and housing in a more co-ordinated manner than has happened before.

LSPs in the East of England

There are currently 52 LSPs in the East of England based largely on county, district and unitary boundaries. They have published Community Strategies based on public consultation. These strategies contain a long-term vision for promoting or improving the economic, social and environmental well-being of their areas, and contribute to sustainable development.

LSPs and LAAs

Local Area Agreements are an important initiative for LSPs, which are instrumental in their development. LAAs give an opportunity to deliver national outcomes in a way that reflects local priorities, particularly those identified in Community Strategies.

LSPs and Sustainable Communities

A consultation exercise on LSPs and Sustainable Community Strategies was completed in early 2006. It is expected that new guidance will be issued after the publication of the Local Government White Paper later in the year.
