The Salford Agreement, 2008 - 2011

The Salford Agreement was completed in March 2011. Salford Strategic Partnership have agreed a number of priority objectives and actions for 2011 - 2014 and these will take forward the many successes of the Salford Agreement.

The following page has been retained for information only.

Our local area agreement (LAA) - the Salford Agreement - was completed and received ministerial sign off in March 2008.

The LAA is intended to boost the city's public services and in turn help local people to achieve their ambitions. It has provided the focus for the partnership over the next three years.

What is the Salford Agreement?

The local area agreement between Salford and government sets challenging targets to be achieved between April 2008 and March 2011.

With the involvement of all partner organisations, we chose 23 priority issues for the city which are at the centre of our business. These included concerns like the number of residents who do not work and the level of anti-social behaviour and opportunities like MediaCityUK. Success on issues like these makes a major difference to people's lives.

Our partnership priorities are:

Smoking
Obesity
Alcohol
Teenage pregnancy
Older people
Safeguarding vulnerable adults
Fear of crime
Anti-social behaviour
Higher education
Parenting
Providing affordable homes
Raising educational attainment
Reducing the number of looked after children
Community cohesion
Community engagement and empowerment
Child poverty
Worklessness
Basic skills
Developing MediaCityUK
Climate change
Growing and developing business
Environmental attractiveness
Ensuring services and transport developments are coordinated

Measuring success

We set targets for each of these priorities to work towards over the three years.

Refresh 2010

We are required to carry out, with partners, a review and refresh of the Salford Agreement on an annual basis. The 2010 review and refresh was of limited scope concentrating on a small number of targets identified as likely to be particularlty affected by the recession. The refresh was completed in March 2010.
