What’s changed for 2008?
New LAA arrangements from April 2008
LAA only place where government will agree
targets with local authorities and partners
Focus on area outcomes and performance
rather than individual partners
Reduced performance reporting
Single area based grant rather than lots of
funding streams.
A vital component of Corporate Area
Assessment. Will move centre stage over
next few years.
