About Local Networks

There will be 12 LNs across the county providing a more streamlined funding process for community led projects, and increased advice and support for local groups.

LNs are responsible for:

• encouraging local engagement and consultation activities so that residents, councillors, community groups and partners can come together in a non-political forum to identify and influence priorities for their local communities, making sure their voices are heard
• supporting the development and resilience of communities through locally agreed 4 year Local Network Action Plans (LNAPs), based on robust evidence from local and strategic engagement and consultation, and local data profiles
• supporting the delivery of LNAPs and activities to achieve local priorities and deliver locally agreed improvements
• promoting continuous improvement and collaboration to ensure services and LNAPs continue to evolve to meet emerging local and strategic needs
