About:
A local strategic partnership (LSP) is a non-statutory body that brings together the different parts of the public, private, voluntary and community sectors working at a local level. The lead player in the LSP is the local authority and other players will include the police and the primary care trust. The LSP ensures the different organisations work together to deliver services more effectively. The LSP creates a long-term vision for the area to tackle local economic, social and environmental needs. The vision is set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy. Local Area Agreements (LAAs) are the mechanism for making the vision a reality.

The local authority negotiates the LAA on behalf of its LSP and is the only body accountable to government. From 2008-09 each LAA will contain 18 statutory education and early years targets and up to 35 targets taken from a list of 198 'national indicators' which are relevant locally (although all 198 will be measured). The LAA can also include additional targets to implement the Sustainable Community Strategy. The Additional targets can be taken from the 198 PIs or elsewhere. LAAs will have a single pot of funding from government to help local areas achieve the agreed targets.

N18: Local Priorities
Local priorities are about creating the sort of place you want to live in. They have been negotiated between your local council, those providing your local public services (such as the police, NHS, JobCentre Plus, charities and community organisations) and Government.

The priorities they will focus on, in your area, have been captured in the local area agreement (LAA). This sets out what will be tackled on an area-by-area basis across England over the next three years.

Agreeing local priorities means that individual areas can focus on what is important to local residents and improve their quality of life.

About:
CPA is the performance management framework used by the Audit Commission and central Government, to measure local authority performance and drive improvement in the sector. CPA for the period 2005-08 included a Culture Block (that is marked out of 4) that included a number of sport indicators including adult participation in sport, volunteering in sport and choice and opportunity of sport facilities: From April 2009, Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) will replace CPA. CAA will be linked to LAAs and the national indicator set
