Local Strategic Partnership

In March 2009, the LSP agreed a new Sustainable Community Strategy for 2009-2014 and action plans to address the four main challenges identified in the strategy. The strategy provides the overarching policy framework for Peak District partners and is available to download below.

Following a self evaluation of the LSP’s performance, the Board also agreed an Improvement Plan to enhance partnership working and delivery. The following actions have been undertaken so far:

• Consultation on LSP priority actions with harder to reach groups (older people, young people and people with disabilities)
• Developing a new Communications strategy and E-newsletter
• More regular monitoring and reporting of progress focusing on outcomes
• Joint Equality Impact Assessments of housing services within the area (summary of key actions available below)
• Helping young drivers and riders from the Derbyshire Dales with the cost of completing their advanced driving test to help reduce road casualties (funding provided by Derbyshire Dales District Council)
• Setting up the Glossopdale ' Total Place' initiative to help tackle alcohol mis-use in this area.

In September 2010 the LSP published its first annual report (see below) setting out its progress during 2009/10. The 2010/11 annual report will be included within the LSP's six monthly newsletter.

In March 2011 the LSP agreed its priority actions for 2011/12, focusing on issues where partnership working can make the most difference. Progress in tackling these issues is reported quarterly to Board.

Copies of the minutes from previous Board meetings are available to download below. For more information on the LSP or Sustainable Community Strategy 2009-2014 please contact the Policy Manager.
