Partnerships

Hands reaching out to each other Brentwood Borough Council is involved in a number of partnerships to deliver efficient and effective services to their residents..

This page gives an overview of the key partnerships that the Council is involved in.

Brentwood Local Strategic Partnership

Brentwood Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) was formed to join up a range of private, public, community and voluntary sector organisations and help them to work together more effectively for the good of the people of Brentwood.

Each of these organisations have their own priorities, objectives and plans; but each is committed to working in partnership to deliver the vision of Brentwood.

Brentwood LSP is committed to ensuring locally identified priorities for Brentwood are reflected in the Local Area Agreement (LAA) for Essex and, similarly, that our work locally contributes positively to the achievement of county-wide and national outcomes. It is important that the new Sustainable Community Strategy will fit closely in terms of priorities and targets within the Essex Strategy and the LAA.

The LSP acts as an umbrella group for all the partnerships within the Borough, and is committed to co-ordinated and co-operative working to ensure that the Brentwood Borough remains a pleasant and healthy place in which to live, work and relax for the benefit of current and future generations.

The Brentwood Local Strategic Partnership is responsible for:

Identifying and responding to the priorities and needs of the Brentwood community.
Preparing and implementing a Community Strategy for the Borough.
Developing action plans to achieve the agreed objectives of the Community Strategy.
Monitoring progress against the action plans and ensuring that the Community Strategy is kept up to date.
Acting strategically to deliver decisions and actions which join up partners' activities across a range of issues.
Enabling partner organisations to address issues and plan services which matter to local people.
Reducing duplication and bureaucracy between partners.
Promoting equality and inclusion.
