Devon’s 2008-2011 LAA, which was approved by the Devon Strategic Partnership on 15 May 2008 and signed off by Government on 30 June 2008, has been refreshed!
View or download the refreshed Devon LAA here.
The priorities in our LAA express the Devon Sustainable Community Strategy and:
- Require partnership working
- Focus on prevention
- Consider those in greatest need
- Are evidence based
- Are creative, innovative and ambitious, and
- Deliver measurable outcomes
There are 38 Priorities in our LAA and each priority is underpinned by a multi-agency delivery plan. The priorities are grouped under the seven Sustainable Community Strategy themes. Click on the themes below to view the priorities.
- A World Class Environment - Supporting our County's world class natural environment, our built environment and cultural heritage to improve the look and feel of the places where we live.
- Strong and Inclusive Communities - Working to ensure strong, prosperous and inclusive communities with a sustainable and vibrant future.
- A Growing Economy - Creating the conditions to enable Devon to have a strong and growing economy, and ensuring maximum opportunities are available for everyone to contribute to and benefit from it.
- Homes and Housing - Ensuring the availability and balance of appropriate housing.
- Inspiring Young People - Inspiring our County's young people to achieve their best and supporting them in tackling the issues that concern them most.
- Health and Wellbeing - Promoting health and personal wellbeing for all so that people are as healthy as possible.
- A Safer Devon - Tackling behaviour that intimidates, hurts or offends people in Devon.
There are also three cross cutting themes:
- Diversity and Equality
- Accessibility and Demographic Change.
- Climate Change, and our Impact on the Environment.
The LAA and Localities
The Devon Strategic Partnership Conference on 28 March 2008 included consideration of how the LAA priorities relate to individual neighbourhoods and localities. Conference participants addressed the question: "Which of the Devon LAA 2008-2011 priorities are the most relevant to each district and how can you take advantage of them to meet local need?" The outcomes of those discussions were used as a contribution towards a short section from each District local authority/local strategic partnership area which was included as part of the published LAA (in July 2008). Three of the District Local Strategic Partnerships updated their pages during the 2009 refresh.
