Hampshire Local Area Agreement 2008 - 2011

The new Hampshire Local Area Agreement 2008-2011 is one of 150 Local Area Agreements that were approved on 30 June 2008.

All 150 Local Area Agreements are available to view on the Improvement and Development Agency's website.

The agreements are grouped according to where they fit in each of the nine Government Office Regions of England.  Select the South East Region to view the Hampshire LAA. (27 Kb)  A matrix MS Excel (6.07 Mb) developed by the Government Office for London allows users to search by indicator and authority across all the regions.

Full details of the development of the new LAA are shown on Hampshire County Council's website, including the draft LAA improvement and performance indicators.

About Local Area Agreements

Local area agreements (LAAs) are about what sort of place you want to live in. They set out the local priorities that will make your town, city or community a better place to be; they have been negotiated between all the main public sector organisations in your area, your local authority and central Government. The ideas behind them are to:

• recognise that ‘one size does not fit all’ and local services should reflect what local people want;
• give more flexibility to local authorities and other public sector organisations in the ways they deliver services for local people;
• make local authorities and other public services more accountable to local people;
• reduce red-tape and improve value for money; and,
• enable local people to get more involved in decisions about local services.

Agreeing these local priorities will mean that everyone in your area is working together to improve the quality of life for those that live there. You will be able to see exactly what your local authority and other public services plan to do in your area and check how well they are doing because they have to make this information available to local people. You can also get involved with decisions about local priorities by:

• attending council meetings

• contacting members of your local strategic partnership, who are drawn from the public services in your area; or

• contacting your councillors.

Further information on the background to local priorities and local area agreements is available from the Communities and Local Government website
