Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement

A Community Strategy is a plan for the future.

The Community Strategy, titled 'The Future of Our Community' in Kensington and Chelsea, is an over arching statement of priorities in the local area for the organisations and sectors involved in the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership. It draws on other more detailed plans and strategies that are developed within these organisations and provides some headline goals which the Partnership wants to achieve within the next ten years. The strategy was developed by consulting each of the organisations within the Partnership involved in delivering it, and local residents and businesses in the borough to determine what the headline goals should be and to identify detailed aims and objectives which will help to deliver these goals.

The Community Strategy is accompanied by 'A Picture of Our Community', which contains detailed research and facts and figures that support the headline goals.

The most recent versions of 'The Future of Our Community' and 'A Picture of Our Community' were published in December 2008.

What is the Local Area Agreement?

The Local Area Agreement was a set of targets which showed how the Partnership was delivering its priorities in the local area. In Kensington and Chelsea, the Local Area Agreement was known as 'Delivering for Our Community', and was the delivery plan for the Community Strategy. As with the community strategy, 'Delivering for Our Community' was developed by consulting each of the organisations within the Partnership to determine what measures should be used to track progress in delivering the Community Strategy. 

'Delivering for Our Community' was the second Local Area Agreement for Kensington and Chelsea and came to an end . The first Local Area Agreement ran from 2006/07 to 2008/09 except for one target, which continued into 2009/10.
