Local Area Partnerships (LAPs)

 

LAPs are made up of elected representatives from all 3 tiers of local government: parish councils, South Lakeland District Council and Cumbria County Council. They are based on groups or clusters of parishes which agree to work together on common interests. Amongst other things, LAPs influence decision-making about the way services are delivered in their area.
