Local Area Agreement 2008-2011

Local Area Agreements (LAAs) set out the priorities for a local area agreed between central government and a local area (the local authority and Local Strategic Partnership) and other key partners at the local level. The LAA is effectively the delivery plan of the Sustainable Communities Strategy.

Local Area Agreement

Wigan Borough Partnership (the Local Strategic Partnership for the Wigan Borough)  developed a new LAA (.pdf, 80kb) which will run from 2008 to 2011 and received its approval letter (.pdf, 32kb) from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in July 2008.

Local Area Agreement Refresh March 2010

The refresh of the LAA aims to revisit any targets and indicators that need amending or updating in view of requirements or changes in circumstances.  Wigan's refresh (.pdf, 130kb)was submitted and approved by Government Office North West in March 2010 approval letter (.pdf, 110kb)
