Further to a decision taken at the NYSP Executive on 24th June 2010, all work on refreshing the Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement has been suspended for the time being, including the public consultation which had been due to take place between end July and end October.

 

There is general acceptance that NYSP partners should have an agreement in place which defines the key issues for North Yorkshire and how partners will work together to improve outcomes for local people, but that this agreement could be undertaken in a more streamlined way than was required by the current approach to the SCS and LAA.  The NYSP are also awaiting directions from CLG about the future of the LAA.

 

It has been agreed that the Thematic Partnerships Chairs will meet in early September to review the situation.  Each TP will also need to consider two or three priorities which it feels are critical and which would need to be tackled going forward.  These discussions will help shape further considerations about how the Strategy may progress.

 

Further updates will be posted to this page when available.
