The Shropshire Partnership

The Shropshire Partnership is a strategic partnership involving councils, regional, public and local agencies, the voluntary and community sector, business, young people and equality and diversity communities. Partners work together to meet local needs and improve the quality of life in Shropshire. The Shropshire Partnership is also sometimes referred to as the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP). Find out more about the Shropshire Partnership's work and meetings via the menu on this page. Our latest newsletter is available under the 'publications' section of this page.

One of the Shropshire Partnership's main areas of work is the Local Area Agreement (LAA). The LAA is a three year formal agreement between central Government and the local area on priorities to improve the quality of life for local people. Shropshire's LAA was put together by the councils and other partners of the Shropshire Partnership. The LSP is currently developing a new Local Area Agreement which will replace the current one in July 2008. Please click on the boxes below for information on the four groups which steer the LAA:
