The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) is consulting on the future of Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) from 8 December 2005 until 3 March 2006.

The consultation looks at the future role of LSPs, their governance and accountability, and their capacity to deliver Sustainable Community Strategies and Local Area Agreements (LAAs).

It asks a number of questions to help the ODPM understand how LSPs are currently operating and where changes can be made at a national, regional and local level to allow them to develop most effectively.

The consultation paper and summary versions are available to download.
