The Epping Forest Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) is a voluntary partnership that brings the public, private and voluntary sector agencies responsible for the provision of services across the District together to improve our quality of life. The LSP recognises and responds to the priorities and needs of local people based upon the findings from joint consultation and report annually on progress at the Epping Forest District Community Conference.The full LSP Partnership meets four times a year and its role is to oversee the overall strategic direction of the LSP.

The Community Strategy
This Strategy is the start of an ongoing process to plan and influence the quality of life of the Epping Forest District over several years. The Strategy is a living document that needs to develop and grow. It is reviewed on an annual basis to see that it reflects changing circumstances and is therefore relevant and current. The first Community Strategy was agreed following extensive public consultation in 2004. The LSP Board agreed in February 2009 to set up a programme to refresh the Community Strategy following discussion with local people, groups and organisations. The revised Community Strategy should be in place with all consultation completed by October 2009.
