Wealden Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) is a non-statutory, multi-agency body, which matches Wealden District Council boundaries, and brings together the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors.

Local Strategic Partnerships are key to tackling deep seated, multi-faceted problems, requiring a range of responses from different bodies. Local partners are expected to take many of the major decisions about priorities for their local area. More information about the role of LSPs can be found here.
