LAA and Performance

The Local Area Agreement is an agreement between central Government, Nottingham City Council and One Nottingham setting out where we will work together to improve Nottingham. This agreement helps everyone involved to work together to make Nottingham a better place for us all.

How will Nottingham's Local Area Agreement (LAA) make a difference?
Throughout, Nottingham's LAA focuses on Early Intervention. This means working together to improve the long term prospects of children, young people, adults and families who are very likely to experience deprivation. We are committed to breaking the cycle of each new generation facing the same problems as previous generations. 

Our LAA is based on outcomes, designed to pave the way to a brighter future for the city. These outcomes are positive changes we want to make happen in Nottingham. For example, cut crime and reduce anti social behaviour, get more local people into jobs, help local businesses start up, tackle childhood obesity and make Nottingham cleaner and greener. Working with our partners, we will focus on achieving these and other key outcomes that are important for the success of the city. 

Nottingham's first LAA (signed in April 2006) has had a positive impact in helping to bring different agencies closer to work together and achieve improvements for Nottingham. Partners are now more committed than ever to continuing and strengthening that partnership working for the new Local Area Agreement (2008-2011).
