Local Area Agreement
What is a Local Area Agreement?
A Local Area Agreement (LAA) is a three-year agreement, based on local Sustainable Community Strategies, between central Government and Local Strategic Partnerships. It sets out the priorities for a local area. LAAs are designed to strengthen partnership working and allow local agencies such as the council, police and Primary Care Trust, more flexibility in responding to the needs of their locality.
How do Local Area Agreements work?
The LAA consists of a series of challenging targets that reflect the most important issues in Barnet that we will be expected to meet over the next three years.
Barnet's Local Area Agreement
Barnet's Local Area Agreement 
(PDF: 83 KB) was signed off in June 2008 and runs until 31 March 2011. It will be refreshed on an annual basis. Most of Barnet's LAA targets are drawn from a national set of 198 performance indicators that local authorities and their partners must measure. The website for Communities for Local Government provides further information on how these indicators are defined.
