The Wakefield District Partnership agreed at its meeting on the 9 February 2006 to the final Local Area Agreement Submission.

Details of the submission can be found in the link opposite.

The new LAA will enable local partners to focus activities on the key improvement activities of the District and to match funding more directly to those priorities.  The LAA will provide the delivery plan for the Fast Forward Community Strategy and will be a central feature and influence on the WDP.  Further details are available in the Local Area Agreements Guidance document which can be located by visiting the ODPM website.

On 31 March 2006, Wakefield District Partnership Board Members attended a special event in Wakefield Town Hall to sign the Local Area Agreement, which featured the key note speech by Yvette Cooper MP, Minister for  Housing and Planning.  To view the film of the event please click on the web cast link opposite.
