Review of the Local Area Agreement
To receive a presentation of the Partnership
Team
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a presentation on
the Local Area Agreement and the performance indicators, which fall
within the remit of the Committee.
The presentation highlighted to Members:
- That the Local Area Agreement was a
three-year negotiated agreement that set out the priorities for a
local area between:
- Central Government represented by
the Government Office
- A local area, represented by the
lead authority
- Other key partners through the Local
Strategic Partnership
- All target had an identified owner
and thematic partnership, however some issues required more cross
party ownership.
- Delivery plans had been produced for
all designated targets, however they needed to reflect
planning
- Performance management arrangements
were in place and performance date collected and reviewed. The
process still needed to be refined to ensure that poor performance
was addressed and reported appropriately.
- The Local Area Agreement was being
refreshed to make any essential changes to the targets. The
Committee agreed that any amendments would be reported to the
Committee at its meeting scheduled to be held on 21 January
2010
With regard to the performance indicators it
was agreed that a cluster of indicators by partnership and a
description of the indicators would be considered by the Committee
at its meeting scheduled to be held on 21 January 2010.
