  1. The 2008 Cumbria Agreement Ned Kemp Carlisle Partnership

  2. Overview • New style LAAs • Refreshing the LAA for 2008 • Process • Emerging content • Issues for consideration

  3. New style LAAs • Local government white paper describes them as the “central delivery contract between central government, local government and its partners” • New style LAAs being introduced – Cumbria will have a refreshed LAA for April 2008 • The “New Style” LAA will be finalised for ministerial sign-off in June 2008

  4. Structure • Cumbria - Story of Place • Targets (more shortly) • Process (Prioritisation method) The finished document will be around 25% of the bulk of the LAA 2007 which is a reflection of the much more focused attention paid to fewer targets (170 in 2007, “up to” 35 +16 - 2008).

  5. Targets • A tabulation of targets in three segments • a.Up to 35 targets selected from the National Indicators Set (NIS at Annex C) and agreed with GONW on behalf of Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and 16 mandatory Local Authority and School targets 2009 (at Annex D) • b.Additional locally agreed indicators – which may be selected from the NIS or created to meet local circumstances. (These targets will not be agreed outside Cumbria, but will commit individual Cumbria public service partners to their delivery nonetheless, via their duty to cooperate). • c.A list of Stretch targets carried over from the LAA 2007 and still in force and still attached to reward funding to be known as “Legacy targets”.

  6. Timeline for LAA 2008 • 26th Nov CSP Exec considered a list of emerging priorities developed by the Thematic partnerships. • 6th Dec Transitional review with GONW and discussion of potential priorities for new LAA  • 11th Dec Meeting of thematic partnership chairs to consider further development of the LAA • 21st Dec Submission of first draft “The Cumbria Story of Place” to GONW • 09th Jan Workshop led by CSP Thematic Group Chairs to review the latest “up to 35” Targets list before submission • 15th Jan 08 Sustainability workshops funded by DEFRA & Submission of next list of “up to 35” targets to GONW

  7. Time Line Continued • 22nd Jan 08 CSP Exec meeting to consider list of indicators that will be submitted to GONW • 28th Jan 08 Further Submission of revised “up to 35” targets to GONW • Feb 08 Negotiation of targets for the “up to 35” targets indicators - this could go on until June Please note: 1. The time-scales for these processes are very tight and deadlines are moveable. The LAA 2008 is due to go live in April 2008 though Ministerial sign-off is not scheduled until June 2008. 2. Guidance from DCLG was not published until late November 07 and contains some ambiguities, complicating a process which is already on a very tight time-line.

  8. Degree of impact on achieving the priorities in the Community Strategy? Contribution to achieving national priorities for Cumbria? Cost to influence achievement? Can you make an impact in 3 years? Does it require partnership working? Degree of impact on multiple Community Strategy outcomes across themes? Is there a performance gap ? Is this a priority for the people of Cumbria? Deciding what goes in our LAA

  9. Emerging Priorities • It is likely that 5 or 6 themes for targets will be created • Each theme will be “Cumbria Specific and contain some of the targets 5 or 6 from the NIS

  10. Emerging Priorities Continued • Annex E is an up to date list of targets under consideration. • Should all be manageable in our present 4 Priority Groups. • No surprises really.
