Local Area Agreement
In June 2008, the Tower Hamlets Partnership
agreed a new Local Area Agreement (LAA) with central government, to
run from June 2008 to March 2011.
The agreement represents a new framework for
addressing local priorities in Tower Hamlets, and is designed to
accelerate the delivery of improved outcomes in areas which really
matter to local people. The agreement is made up of 35
targets, chosen from the government’s 198 National Indicators,
which represent the priority areas where the Partnership and local
people most want to see improved performance.
The targets are structured around the
borough’s 4 community plan themes:
- A great place to live
- A prosperous community
- A safe and supportive community
- A healthy community
For each of these key themes, the LAA sets out
the high-level outcomes that the local community, key partners and
central government want to see achieved over the lifetime of the
agreement.
The government’s part in the LAA is to provide
greater local freedom and flexibility for council’s and their
partners to do things differently, simplify funding arrangements
and reduce bureaucracy around monitoring and reporting.
The agreement will be monitored by the
Partnership’s Community Plan Delivery Groups.
