CLES Case Studies
CLES Case Studies
CS06 - Doncaster's Local Area AgreementThis CLES case study looks at Local Area Agreements (LAAs), with a specific focus on Doncaster, their implementation experience and the issues encountered thus far in their agreement. Local Area Agreements (LAAs) were first introduced by the government in July 2004 with the primary aim of improving the relationship between central and local government and Local Strategic Partnerships. LAAs are expected to reach agreements that achieve local solutions by meeting local needs, whilst also contributing to national priorities and standards set by central government. Originally, the prospectus hoped to pilot nine LAAs, one for each of the English regions.
CS03 - Getting involved in Smethwick
In September 2002, CLES Consulting were commissioned by Smethwick Regeneration Partnership to develop a ‘Community Involvement and Participation Strategy and Action Plan for the Regeneration and Neighbourhood Management of Smethwick’. The need for this strategy has been identified by Smethwick Regeneration Partnership as being increasingly pertinent due to the growth in the number of local initiatives requiring effective community involvement to ensure their success.
