Local Area Agreements are a new Government initiative which provides the framework to find local solutions for local people. They have the potential to bring about a real improvement in collaborative working, by ensuring that all sectors improve their understanding of each other. The Northamptonshire Local Area Agreement has been developed by partners from county, borough and district councils, police & probation, the health sector, Connexions and JobCentrePlus. This work started with an Expression of Interest submitted to the Government Office East Midlands (GOEM) in May 2005. The Northamptonshire Local Area Agreement has now been agreed by GOEM and officially signed off by the Government.
