FOREWORDAs Chair of One Barnsley, the umbrella body for partnership working inBarnsley, the new style Local Area Agreement represents anopportunity for all partners to work together over the next 3 years todeliver the key improvement priorities for the Borough. All partnershave been pro-actively involved in determining the priorities, negotiatingthe targets with Government, and identifying the necessary actions –now the challenge is to work together to deliver against the targets toachieve improved outcomes for the residents of the Borough.The LAA sets out the improvement priorities for the next 3 years – forthe Council working alone or in partnership – alongside the indicatorsand targets we will be using to measure progress and show we aremaking a difference.The LAA will help to achieve the vision and ambitions of the Borough,as set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy 2008-20, and make asignificant contribution towards place shaping the future of the Borough.The Council and its partners fully embrace the Government’s newnational performance management framework and recognise thecentrality of the Local Area Agreement as the cornerstone of deliveringimprovements across the Borough. The LAA is strongly focused onlocal priorities being delivered by local partners for local people, whichmeans doing things differently and/or doing different things to achievebetter outcomes faster. The achievement of the agreed outcomes willdepend upon innovation, commitment and effective partnershipworking, as well as a determination to make a difference to people’slives.Barnsley’s LAA is about Barnsley’s priorities – some of which havebeen ‘designated’ with Central Government – and reflect our ambitionsfor the Borough and the outcomes agreed and signed up to by allpartners. This gives all partners an opportunity to work together for thebenefit of the Borough and deliver the agreed improvements over thenext 3 years.Councillor Stephen Houghton, Leader of the CouncilChair of One BarnsleyJune 2008Phil CoppardChief ExecutiveBarnsley Metropolitan Borough CouncilJune 20089Foreword Barnsley’s Local Area Agreement 2008-11
INTRODUCTIONThis is Barnsley’s first new-style Local Area Agreement covering theperiod April 2008 – March 2011. Whilst Barnsley was a pilot areaunder the old style LAA’s, the requirements and importance of the newstyleLAAs are much more significant as part of a new way of working,both at a national and local level. All partners have been pro-activelyengaged in the development of this document, particularly with regardto the determination of the improvement priorities, the indicators andtargets to measure progress, and the agreed actions to help deliver theimprovements over the next 3 years. Many are specifically signed up todeliver the agreed targets.This LAA is central to Barnsley’s future, its place in the world and thedelivery of improved outcomes for local residents. It reflects a lot ofhard work, energy and commitment to change. However, the easy parthas now been done – the challenge going forward is to deliver theimprovements, make a difference, achieve better outcomes and makeBarnsley a better place to live, work and visit to achieve the challenging2020 vision it has set itself.CONTEXTUAL OVERVIEWIn October 2006, the Government published its Local GovernmentWhite Paper – Creating Strong, Safe and Prosperous Communities –with a view to creating a new settlement between Central Government,Local Government and citizens made up of the followingcharacteristics:-10• a recognition that every place is different, with different needs andpriorities;• a commitment to extend the involvement of local communities inshaping their own future;• an enhanced role for local authorities as strategic leaders, workingmore closely with local partners, principally via Local StrategicPartnerships (LSPs);• a focus on coordinated action tailored to the distinctive needs andopportunities of each place and its people;• an emphasis on delivering improved outcomes for local people.This represented a radical agenda for change, a new relationshipbetween Central Government and local partners and a shift towardsgreater local discretion, alongside an even greater emphasis onefficiency, and customer and citizen engagement. Overall, the principalaims of the White Paper were to enable effective local services, createbetter places and have better governance arrangements that achievehigher levels of satisfaction from customers.The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007received Royal Assent on 30 October 2007 and created a range of newduties and responsibilities on Local Authorities, working alone or inpartnership, and partners, to deliver improved outcomes for localresidents. Many of these new duties and responsibilities are within thenew national performance management framework, alongside changesIntroduction Barnsley’s Local Area Agreement 2008-11
