SOUTH LAKELAND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
 
South Lakeland Local Strategic Partnership
 
The South Lakeland Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) was established in October 2002 by South Lakeland District Council in order to develop a Community Strategy for South Lakeland.  
 
What is the Community Strategy
The purpose of the Community Strategy is to improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of South Lakeland in a sustainable way by highlighting the key issues of the quality of life of the district and by seeking ways of working together to tackle them.

Refreshed Community Strategy 2007 - 2027
There are a number of challenges facing South Lakeland in the next few years. These include providing affordable housing to meet needs, facilitating economic growth and establishing effective transport opportunities. Solutions to these issues are affected by decisions at regional and sub-regional levels. South Lakeland is making a strong case for particular attention to address its challenges and is looking to the Local Area Agreement to enhance the support it needs to introduce improvements for the people of this part of the county. In January the Partnership agreed that the refreshment of the South Lakeland Community Strategy is key to achieving the LAA outcomes relevant for the district and meeting the needs of the community.

The Task Group Chairs attended a workshop in March to agree the structure, context and vision for the refreshed strategy and the revised action plans were also fed into the development process. The draft Community Strategy underwent a six week consultation process, during which time all LSP and Task Group Members along with Councillors and key stakeholders were asked to comment on the document. A final draft of the Strategy will be considered by the LSP on 8th November and hopefully the Community Strategy will be launched in December.
