The South Derbyshire Local Strategic Partnership is a group of people representing public services, local businesses, community groups and residents.
Its main role is to work together to help improve South Derbyshire, concentrating on the things local people have said are important for a better South Derbyshire. It is doing this through South Derbyshire's Community Strategy (see above).
By working together, bigger and better things will be achieved rather than if one organisation was working on its own.
The partnership is made up of a Board who make decisions on things like strategy and finance.
The board is made up of 24 individuals who represent organisations based in 4 key sectors: Local Authorities, Other Public Bodies, Private Sector interests, and the Community and Voluntary Sector. Appointments from each sector have been made through a mixture of elections and nominations.
The board members represent the following organisations : -
South Derbyshire District Council
Derbyshire Constabulary
Derbyshire County Council
Derbyshire Association of Local Councils
Derbyshire Connexions
Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust
Old Post Regeneration Association Ltd
Environment Agency
Sharpe’s Pottery & Heritage Trust

The board meets regularly with 2 of its meetings a year being held as a FORUM. All residents and any organisation with an interest in South Derbyshire are welcome to attend. Further details about the next Forum, together with its date and venue and the issues being discussed will be posted here nearer the time.
6 Thematic Groups work on delivering the actions in the Community Strategy (see below) and they each focus on a chapter in the strategy. Board members take part in and champion each of the group's work.
" Working together for a Better South Derbyshire"
The Community Strategy for South Derbyshire has been developed by the South Derbyshire Local Strategic Partnership (SDLSP) (see below). It aims to improve the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of South Derbyshire by tackling those issues that are important to the local community and service providers.
The strategy is based on the views of local people; voluntary and community groups, businesses and other interested organisations. This has identified what needs to be done to improve the quality of life in the District over the next five years.
The Strategy is based on six broad themes, and priorities for action. The 6 themes are:-
- Creating Opportunities for All
- Safe Communities
- Healthy Communities
- A Vibrant Economy
- A Sustainable Environment
- Lifelong Learning and Culture
Action plans are produced each year setting out what the partners will be focusing on to contribute to the longer term vision.
