Reaching the finishing line
[posted 30 April 2008]
Notts new Local Area Agreement is about to start
Nottinghamshire’s new Local Area Agreement (LAA) will ‘go-live’ on the 1st June 2008.
Our new LAA will be a three year agreement (2008-2011) which is all about working together better in partnership to deliver genuine improvements at the community level.
People from all the key organisations in Nottinghamshire, as well as representatives from the voluntary and private sectors, have been working hard over the past year to develop our priorities, which we will focus on more than ever to bring improvements. The new LAA will have 10 priorities including:
- promote a thriving economy
- improve educational attainment and skill levels
- improve community cohesion and participation
- reduce crime and fear of crime
- tackle smoking and alcohol misuse
- improve emotional wellbeing
- tackle rising obesity
- reduce health inequalities
- improve quality of life for vulnerable people
- promote environmental sustainability.
The partner organisations are finalising targets which will challenge everyone in Nottinghamshire to improve the way we do things so that everyone is happy and healthy.
Our priorities and targets will be agreed with Government by the end of May so that we can get down to business from 1 June.
