Peterborough’s Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement (LAA)
Peterborough's Sustainable Community Strategy sets out the overarching vision and priorities for the development of our city and its surrounding rural areas. It can be seen by clicking here. A summary of Peterborough's Sustainable Community Strategy is also avaliable - Click here to view.
The Local Area Agreement is the three year action plan for the delivery of outcomes and targets that will support the long term aspirations of the Sustainable Community Strategy. To see the 2008 - 2011 LAA submission - click here. The agreement represents the work of all the partners whether public, private, voluntary, community or faith sector. As such it is a genuine partnership document, representing our collective work plan and recognised that no one partner can deliver our ambitious agenda.

The GPP acts as the governing body for the development and performance management of both documents. Performance management reports on the Local Area Agreement are produced quarterly and assessed by the relevant thematic partnership before discussion at the GPP Board itself.
