Your Local Area Partnership
The
borough has been divided into eight Local Area Partnership areas
(
LAP
s)
based on local
wards
.
Each one of the LAPs provide a platform for
local residents to have their say on the improvements in their
area, and to influence how the changes are carried out.

Getting involved
The LAP steering groups are made up of around
15 local residents, six ward Councillors and six service provider
representatives. As a group they have a number of aims,
including to:
- help deliver the Partnership’s objectives and
contribute to performance against the targets set out in the Local
Area Agreement
- develop
innovative
approaches to the
delivery of key targets at a local level based on gathering
intelligence, promoting joint working and joint problem
solving
- work with the Community Plan Delivery Groups
to agree local activities and projects linked directly to the
LAA
targets most relevant for their LAP area
- review and monitor local evidence on
performance and outcomes to inform action planning
- develop local
participation
and
empowerment
- help
build local capacity
- channel
entrepreneurial
energy
