The context for partnership working (and indeed the landscape around it) is rapidly changing. Alongside substantial cuts in public spending, councils and their partners are responding to the emerging Localism and Devolution agenda, the ‘Big Society’, significant Health and Policing reforms, a changing regional and sub-regional landscape (including the replacement of Regional Development Agencies with Local Enterprise Partnerships), and the introduction of Community (Place-Based) Budgets (initially across 16 local areas) as announced in the Spending Review.
Local Government Improvement & Development have put together a paper to examine the implications for the Local Strategic Partnerships nationally, please see the report below. The appendix contains a detailed spreadsheet on the implications for a large number of LSP's on a case by case basis.
