Partnership Information

How the Partnership has developed

Cumbria Strategic Partnership (CSP) was established in 2001.  It exists to help Cumbria to think and speak with a single voice and to be clear about its strategic priorities, particularly when influencing policy development within the North West region and beyond.

The first full meeting of the CSP took place in January 2002.  The Partnership initially comprised some 50 partners, all with a countywide strategic role, and including Cumbria County Council, each of the six District Councils and the Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs). 

The CSP is responsible for developing the Sustainable Community Strategy and the Local Area Agreement (LAA). Links to further information on these areas can be found by following the links below:
