Somerset's Local Area Agreement (LAA) is based on the Aims and objectives set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy and translates them into targets to secure the improvements local people want to see.
It is our three year agreement with the Government and will start to shape the Somerset of the future as set out in the Strategy.
It was originally submitted to central Government
for approval in May 2008 and is refreshed annually.
LAA Indicators
"Indicators" are used to measure our performance against the targets that have been set and are grouped under the Aims set out in the Strategy.
LAA Refresh 2009 / 2010
The annual Refresh exercise, completed in March 2010, focussed on indicators considered to be adversely affected by the economic recession and where the 'lock down' for the LAA Reward Grant was removed and one indicator where a target was still to be finalised.
LAA Delivery Plans
A delivery plan has been produced for each of the indicators which explains how the targets will be achieved.
The LAA Information
The LAA Catalogue which lists the contact details for all indicators is available here and you can also view the terms of reference for all those involved.
Regular meetings are attended by all those involved - dates, agenda and minutes are available here.
