About the Kirklees Partnership

The role of the Kirklees Partnership is to:

• Develop, in consultation with the local people and organisations, a sustainable Community Strategy which will provide a framework for partners to plan and deliver services.
• Oversee the production and implementation of the Local Area Agreement.
• Develop mechanisms which promote better communication and shared decision making, break down organisational barriers and promote coherent service delivery.
• Target resources more effectively on local priorities.
• Ensure local people are actively involved in decisions which affect their communities.
• Bring social inclusion and environmental sustainability into the mainstream of our regeneration activity.
• Forge partnerships with central government and provide a district wide voice into regional and sub-regional plans.

Kirklees Partnership boards provide the forum for partners to discuss key issues, prioritise and agree objectives, sanction funding and monitor progress.
