What is the Local Area Agreement (LAA)?
Newham's Local Area Agreement (LAA) is a document agreed between
and signed by the Mayor of Newham and the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government which sets out the following areas
for a three-year period (2008/11):
- the Newham context, aspirations and ambitions, as set out
in the Sustainable Community Strategy
-
A Shared Outcomes Framework for each of the six Community
Strategy themes which are: Investing in Children and Young People,
Better Health and Wellbeing, Making Newham Safer, Building an
Active and Inclusive Community, Shaping Sustainable Communities,
and Business Growth and Access to Jobs
- A performance management framework establishing 35 performance
targets mapped to the Shared Outcomes Framework drawn from the 198
indicators in the National Indicator Set
First and foremost the LAA is a Newham Partnership document
which is both developed and agreed with Newham's partners across
the public, private, voluntary and community sectors through Newham
Partnership Board.
Secondly, the LAA sets out a set of 35 key targets for
improvement to be achieved through joint working across partner
agencies
The LAA targets reflect the key priorities for improving the
quality of life in the area of Newham as a whole, and the targets
