Remit and priorities

The LSP has a remit to:

  • Prepare and implement the Community Strategy
  • Co-ordinate local plans and initiatives, improving and simplifying joint working in the borough.
  • Deliver a Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy which will
    - secure more jobs
    - provide better education
    - improve health
    - reduce crime
    - provide better housing/physical environment
    - narrow the gap between deprived neighbourhoods and the better off neighbourhoods
    - contribute to the national targets to tackle deprivation
  • Help devise appropriate targets for local Public Service Agreements (agreements between the Council and the Government to improve outcomes for local residents more quickly and/or to a higher level than would otherwise be the case).

The LSP has decided to concentrate on the following priorities:

Creating a better environment for all
Making Newham a place where people choose to live and work.

Building an active and inclusive community
Everyone in the borough should have the same chances in life, whatever their background. Newham's population should achieve the same level of education as the national average. They should be healthy with good career prospects and a good quality of life.

Making Newham safer
Crime levels in Newham should be no higher than the London average, ensuring local people feel safer.

Narrowing the health gap
By 2010 the health of local people should be at least as good as that of people in the rest of London.

Business growth and access to jobs
To ensure that Newham's unemployment rate moves in line with the national average by 2006 and that the income of the local population reaches the average for the surrounding area.
