Latest Local Area Agreement 2008-11
Find out how the Oxfordshire's second Local Area Agreement Oxfordshire will help deliver the key priorities of the sustainable community strategy - Oxfordshire 2030.
Oxfordshire's second local area agreement was developed and agreed by the Oxfordshire Partnership between summer 2007 and May 2008, and was formally signed-off by central government in June 2008.
The agreement is one part of the Delivery Plan that the Oxfordshire Partnership is using to ensure that the priorities of Oxfordshire 2030 (Oxfordshire's Sustainable Community Strategy) are acted on and real improvements delivered.
The targets in the local area agreement focus on improvements that can be delivered in the short term; up to March 2011.
As well as delivering on the priorities identified in the Sustainable Communities Strategy, the local area agreement will play a key role in the new Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) when it is introduced in 2009. The CAA will look at how effectively a range of public sector organisations are working together within Oxfordshire. To find out more about the CAA visit: www.audit-commission.gov.uk/caa/.
