Liverpool First
Liverpool First is Liverpool’s Local Strategic Partnership (LSP).
The LSP is made up of key stakeholders such as major businesses, government organisations, public sector agencies, and representatives from voluntary and community groups.
They all get together to discuss important issues about an area. Working together as a true partnership, they look at how well their area is doing, what is working and not working, and they provide solutions together on how best to tackle problems.
The LSP is the wider strategic planning for the city with five strategic issue partnerships:
- Children and young people.
- Health and wellbeing.
- Housing.
- Safer and stronger communities.
- Economic growth.
