On 22 June 2005 the Government announced that Nottinghamshire will be one of 66 local authorities to have a Local Area Agreement.
Local Area Agreements (LAAs) represent a new relationship between local and central government and key partners. They are a three year agreement giving more freedom and flexibility to achieve local solutions that meet local needs with the incentive of gaining extra funding if successful.
The agreement is due to come into force in April 2006 and will need to show how all the partners will deliver a better quality of life for people through improving performance on both local and national priorities. Partners have been asked to agree what needs to be done in four areas of community life:
- healthier communities and older people
- economic development and enterprise
- safer and stronger communities
- children and young people
The Ashfield Partnership is closely involved in the Nottinghamshire Local Area Agreement through the work of its Thematic Task Groups and its Local Neighbourhood Strategy.
We have set up this web page to ensure that partners have good access for information on the LAA as developments occur.
