Introduction to Local Strategic Partnerships
What is an LSP
Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) are non-statutory, multi-agency partnerships, which matches local authority boundaries. LSPs bring together at a local level the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors; allowing different initiatives and services to support one another so that they can work together more effectively.
LSPs are central to the delivery of the New Commitment to Neighbourhood Renewal - National Strategy Action Plan (National Strategy) (Acrobat 1,581kb). Further information relating to LSPs can be obtained from the national policy document - LSP Government Guidance (DETR, March 2001) (Acrobat 180kb) and associated Appendices to the Guidance (Acrobat 112kb).
Why do we need LSPs? Lack of joint working at local level has been one of the key reasons why there has been little progress in delivering sustainable economic, social and physical regeneration, or improved public services, that meet the needs of local communities. A combination of organisations, and the community, working co-operatively as part of an LSP will have a far greater chance of success. To achieve these improvements, the Government, local authorities and other service providers need to work co-operatively, change the ways they work, reallocate resources and 'bend' their mainstream programmes to tackle issues that really matter to local people
