A Summary of Enfield’s
Local Area Agreement 2008-2011 - Building
Futures Changing Lives
The Enfield Strategic Partnership
(ESP) has a clear vision to make Enfield ‘ a
healthy, prosperous, cohesive community
living in a borough that is safe, clean
and green’. It has already achieved
a great deal through the delivery of
the Sustainable Community Strategy’s
aims and objectives.
Our current Local Area Agreement (LAA) ‘Every
child really does matter’ was
developed to address the key issue
of child poverty. By focusing our energies
on the needs of children and their
families it aims to improve the life
chances for our residents both now
and in the future. Considerable progress
has been made towards the achievement
of these targets.
Developing our new LAA has given the
ESP the opportunity to review what
we have achieved to date and whether
the challenges have altered or the
priorities shifted. It also enables
us to link the Sustainable Community
Strategy, the LAA and the Council’s
Place Shaping plans to ensure that
the actions are consistent and that
appropriate linkages and opportunities
for increased partnership working are
fully exploited for the benefit of
all Enfield’s residents.
The ESP wants Enfield to be a borough
with diverse and cohesive communities,
a place where people want to live and
work. Our aim is to reduce transience
and provide employment that will give
residents more disposable income to
contribute to the development of a
vibrant local economy. We want people
to stay in Enfield and put down roots.
We hope that this will lead them to
participate actively in the development
and maintenance of their communities.
Our Story of Place sets out the challenges
for Enfield and the rationale for choosing
the targets for our new LAA. We are
confident that by maintaining and building
on our good record in partnership working
we can achieve these challenging targets
and make real improvements in the lives
of all Enfield’s residents.
