Similar information is available on working with the community and can be provided for the next meeting. 15. If the Committee wishes to visit a good practice authority, officers’ advice is that Croydon is a suitable authority. It is also given on the IdeA website as an LSP good practice authority. Initial enquiries with Croydon suggest that it might be possible to arrange a visit during the day for some or all members of the Committee to meet officers and some LSP members and/or sit in on an LSP meeting.

Annex A – The Working of Hillingdon Partners – Local Strategic Partnership (paper presented to the Committee’s last meeting) LSPs are ultimately not simply a partnership between key provider organisations, but a link, through the local authority, to the democratic accountability of local public services to local people. Evaluation of LSPs Governance. 1. The Council has a statutory responsibility under Local Government Act 2000 to produce a Community Strategy for the borough in partnership with other local service providers, both in the public and private sectors, and community representatives. The Council does this through a Local Strategic Partnership – Hillingdon Partners. LSP are non-statutory, non-executive organizations which operate at a level which enables strategic decisions to be taken and are also close enough to individual neighbourhoods to allow actions to be determined at community level. The purpose of an LSP is to develop long-term strategies and plans for the local area, monitor their delivery, and bring about effective change. 2. Hillingdon Partners is central to the Council’s partnership working. It was established in 2001 and tackles key issues for local people, such as crime, the environment, jobs, education, health and housing. It is a key means of the Council fulfilling its statutory community leadership role. Hillingdon Partners has recently produced a 10 year Community Strategy 2005-15, which outlines the communities top priorities and how they will be addressed for the next 10 years. The LSP is composed of public, private, community and voluntary sector organisations. (A list of members is detailed in appendix A). Public, private, community and voluntary sector organisations all have a part to play in improving quality of life and these organisations will all work together to deliver the Community Strategy. Structure and Composition 3. The LSP is composed of the LSP Executive, the LSP and 7 theme partnerships. The LSP Executive’s membership is the PCT Chief Executive, Borough Police Commander, Council Chief Executive, Brunel University, Ealing Family Housing and Cabinet Portfolio Holder. Its role is to help set direction and agenda for the LSP development and its development. It meets monthly and is chaired by the Council Chief Executive. The LSP is composed of the chairs of all theme groups and up to three additional representatives from each theme group and representatives of community and voluntary sector organisations. Its role is to oversee production of the community plan and the development of the LSP. It meets 6 times a year and is chaired by the Council Chief Executive.
