New LAA Leaflets

"What are local area agreements?" is an information leaflet for LIOs and the broader third sector. It explains how local area agreements (LAAs) work and why and how third sector organisations should engage with them. It is now in an updated second edition which includes information on multi-area agreements (MAAs) and on how LAAs work in two-tier authorities. You can order up to 500 copies to give to your members for free!

"Local area agreement - what's it got to do with me?" is aimed at citizens engaged in community action and provides a simple introduction to LAAs, making the links between community activity influencing local decision making with support from LIOs. Copies of this can be ordered by emailing Laura James.
