Our Vision for Barnsley
|
A Local Strategic Partnership (LSPs) is a single non-statutory, multi-agency body, which matches local authority boundaries, and aims to bring together at a local level the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors.
LSPs are key to tackling deep seated, multi-faceted problems, requiring a range of responses from different bodies. Local partners working through a LSP will be expected to take many of the major decisions about priorities for their local area.
Lack of joint working at local level has been one of the key reasons for lack of progress in delivering sustainable economic, social and physical regeneration, or improved public services, that meets the needs of local people. A combination of organisations, and the community, working co-operatively as part of an LSP will have a far greater chance of success.
To achieve these improvements, the Government, local authorities and other service providers need to work co-operatively, change the ways they work, reallocate resources and 'bend' their mainstream programmes to tackle issues that really matter to local people.
'Barnsley is on the brink of momentous change. Our 2020 vision is for Barnsley to be a successful, uniquely distinctive 21st century market town at the centre of a borough that offers prosperity and opportunity for all.'
Cllr Stephen Houghton, Chair of One Barnsley

After much planning and consultation One Barnsley has compiled its vision for the future of Barnsley until 2020. The 'LOOKING AHEAD - Our vision for Barnsley' leaflet can be accessed here as well as in many information centres around Barnsley. It explains the ambitions we have for Barnsley and what we are going to do to help achieve them. The full document is called the Sustainable Community Strategy and can be accessed here
Barnsley’s ambitious new-style Local Area Agreement (LAA) has been signed off by Hazel Blears, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. The new-style LAA heralds a new relationship between central and local government and partnership working with others to deliver local improvement priorities over the next three years.
