leeds strategic plan ...

The Leeds Strategic Plan is a significant milestone in partnership working in Leeds as it is the first time that the council has agreed, with its partners, and with government, a single shared set of outcomes and priorities for the city.

Together the partners have identified the actions needed to deliver the priorities. It builds on a strong and successful history of partnership working through the Leeds Initiative which, since 1990, has brought the council, business, public bodies, and voluntary, community and faith groups closer together for the benefit of the city.

The Leeds Strategic Plan, which covers the period from 1st April 2008 to the 31st March 2011, also embraces the Local Area Agreement for the city and shows how many of the priorities, identified by local people and agreed locally by the council and its partners, are shared with national government.

Leeds Local Area Agreement

The Leeds Local Area Agreement was signed in March 2006 and will run for three years. It enables a number of partners across the city to work more effectively together to improve outcomes for local people. The LAA is an agreement between central government, the local authority, and local partners.
