Our Progress

Sustainable Community Strategy Development and Reviews

Delivering the new LAA

Delivering Pride of Place

Introduction

We manage our performance and measure our progress in four ways:

Plan for performance
ESSP produces a Sustainable Community Strategy and a Local Area Agreement (LAA) setting out our performance indicators and targets.

Manage delivery
We manage the delivery of services, listen to the views of service users and take action if we are not achieving our targets. Find out more about how we manage the Local Area Agreement.

Monitor and report progress
ESSP monitors performance by collecting and analysing data from partners involved in delivering the target, and checking that the data used is accurate. We use this information to produce performance monitoring reports four times a year, and we publish data on our website and on East Sussex in Figures. Read our latest performance report.

Revise plans
The Local Area Agreement (LAA) is ‘refreshed’ once a year to reflect changes in national policy, local priorities and to improve the performance of the LAA. This may result in new targets or changes to existing targets and it is the only opportunity we have to re-negotiate the LAA with Government. LAA2 was refreshed in March 2009.

ESSP also carries out community strategy reviews.
