The Community Strategy is currently being revised by all the partners  to incorporate local priorities identified in the 3 year 'Local Area Agreement' - LAA - for Wokingham Borough between local partners and central government, which runs to March 2009. 

 

An LAA is a 3 year agreement, based on local Sustainable Community Strategies, that sets out the priorities for Wokingham Borough. The agreement is made between Central Government  and Wokingham Borough. Within the LAA there are specific targets where the agency / organisation responsible for delivering them has signed up to delivering greater than expected improvements in performance over a 3-year period. If this is achieved, the Government will pay a significant amount of reward grant. The Wokingham District Strategic Partnership played a key role in agreeing the priorities to be included in the current LAA.  

 

Central government policy is taken through the Communities and Local Government Department, whose vision is of prosperous and cohesive communities, offering a safe, healthy and sustainable environment for all.  See the attached Government website for further information on Local Area Agreements.
