The Local Government Act 2000 acknowledges the role of local authorities as community leaders and places on them the responsibility to produce a community plan or strategy, that addresses the issues of social, environmental and economic well being of an area.
A local authority alone cannot fully understand the issues facing an area, but in partnership and consultation with others, the wider picture can be realised. To this end, various sectors have been encouraged to join together and establish themselves as Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs).
The Mid Beds Local Strategic Partnership was established in 2002. It brings together key organisations as a Steering Group with a remit of working together, enabling resources to be better used, duplication minimised and the aspirations, needs and priorities of the community better met.
Mid Beds Local Strategic Partnership is a non-statutory, non-executive body with representatives, drawn from almost all public services, the private sector and voluntary organisations. The Steering Group meets on a quarterly basis to discuss items of mutual concern affecting all partner organisations.
Its purpose is to: - Work with the community to identify needs and priorities;
- Identify gaps in current and planned provision of services;
- Identify ways in which, in partnership, these gaps will be bridged;
- Prepare and deliver a community plan which reflect these gaps.
As a Steering Group the LSP meet on a quarterly basis. The meetings are open to all and can be attended by others with an interest in the work of the Partnership. A Schedule of Meetings is published in advance on these web pages.
Various other groups of the Partnership work to support the Steering Group, including the LSP Officer Group and thematic groups or Priority Working Groups as they are now known.
