Local Area Agreement

News: Our LAA 2008 - 2011 has been refreshed and has been approved by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. Changes have been made to over half of the indicators.

A Local Area Agreement is a three-year agreement that sets out the priorities for a local area.  It is negotiated with Government, represented by Government Office West Midlands, and a local area, represented by local authorities and their partners working through the Worcestershire Partnership.
