Progress on LAA 2006
On March 23rd 2006 the Government and the Isle of Wight, as represented by the Chair of the Local Strategic Partnership, John Owen and the Leader of the Council, Councillor Andy Sutton, signed our first Local Area Agreement. (LAA)
Local Area Agreements are part of the Government’s 10 year vision for the future of local government and will become a key part of improving the way local priorities are addressed.
Our Local Area Agreement creates a contract between the Government and the Isle of Wight, which identifies priorities for the Island and the improvement targets that the Island wants to achieve in addressing these priorities.
Priorities are focused around the following areas:
- Children & Young People
- Healthier Communities & Older People
- Safer and Stronger Communities
- Economic Development
Some of the benefits of a Local Area Agreement will be:
- A focus for delivering our Community Strategy
- A focus for improved partnership working and better use of resources
- More joined up performance management
- Potentially more flexible use of Government funding in the medium term
