Derby City Partnership as a Local Strategic Partnership
Since April 2002, Derby City Partnership has been the Local Strategic Partnership for the city. We were responsible for delivering the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy which aimed to narrow the gap between disadvantaged neighbourhoods and the city as a whole. Though Neighbourhood Renewal Funding has now come to an end, we continue to build on this work to improve services in our most deprived neighbourhoods..
As a Local Strategic Partnership, we are also responsible for delivering Derby's Local Area Agreement, which focuses on our priorities for Derby. More information on Derby's Local Area Agreement can be found here.
Closer working with communities
One of the key priorities for Local Strategic Partnerships is the meaningful involvement of the community. Derby City Partnership has awarded a two year contract to Community Action Derby, to provide support and improve communication to people who represent the community and voluntary sector on a wide variety of partnership groups in Derby, from Neighbourhood Boards to Partnership Executives. This project will ensure that the local knowledge, experience and voice of this vibrant and diverse sector are heard, to enhance and influence strategic planning across the city.
Derby City Partnership Board includes four representatives of the community and voluntary sector and the aim is for all of Derby City Partnership groups to include two representatives from the community and voluntary sector.
