What is a Local Strategic Partnerhip (LSP)? 
The Government requires an LSP in each district that is working to enhance the quality of life, contribute to sustainable development, and help coordinate and shape the future action of public, private, voluntary and community organisations.

The Waveney LSP is made up of the LSP Board, which is representatives of the many bodies that make up the Partnership. The Board is chaired by Mark Bee, Leader of Waveney District Council. The full membership of the Board is listed in the WLSP constitution (see above).

The Waveney LSP also has a Project Management Group which are the Chairs of the four Thematic Groups and is chaired by either the Chief Executive of Waveney District Council or the Locality Director of Environment and Transport, Suffolk County Council.


The four Theme Groups are:

• Children and Young People
• Safer Stronger Sustainable Communities
• Healthier Communities and Older People
• Economic Development and Enterprise

Each of these 4 Groups will have a vision statement that is currently being produced with the revision of the Waveney Sustainable Communities Strategy.
