What is Local Strategic Partnership?
The Lewes District Local Strategic Partnership brings together organisations from the public, private, voluntary & community sectors to produce and deliver the Community Strategy. The Community Strategy is aimed at improving the quality of life of local people, especially those who are most in need. It sets out the needs and priorities that local people have established through consultation.

What does it do?
Partners in the Local Strategic Partnership are working together to deliver the Sustainable Community Strategy. The current priority themes in the Community Strategy are:

• A valued environment
• Decent and affordable housing for all
• Safer and stronger communities
• Access to good local facilities
• Healthier communities
• Vibrant and sustainable economy

Within the District, there are four town based partnerships and one rural one called Rural Voices Rural Choices. These partnerships provide a mechanism for local people to have their opinions represented when deciding strategic priorities and therefore to influence the delivery of local services.
