What is the Local Strategic Partnership?

The Stroud District Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) was established in March 2002. It brings together senior representatives from the public, private, voluntary and community sectors who have a diverse wealth of local knowledge and expertise.

The LSP's purpose is to improve the quality of life for local people by encouraging effective partnership between those people who can directly and indirectly bring about change.

In shaping its thinking the LSP members realised they should prioritise problems within the District and concentrate on areas where they felt real improvement, over time, would be achievable. By concentrating on specific areas they hope their influence on budget proposals, policy and partnership development will result in tangible results over the next 20 years.

The Community Strategy is the main mechanism by which the LSP's vision will be achieved. It details the concerns of local people, the business community and visitors and sets out what the LSP together with other partners, partnerships, agencies and communities are trying to achieve in response.
