The Hampshire Approach

In Hampshire there are 11 Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) developing Community Strategies at a district level and one that spans the county, the Hampshire Strategic Partnership (HSP).

Portsmouth and Southampton, as unitary authorities, also have a LSP and a Community Strategy that covers their area. Each Community Strategy is unique to the area it covers.

The Hampshire Community Strategy will be different from those at the district level, as it will look to respond to issues that cannot be addressed by district LSPs individually. Local issues and local implementation will be dealt with by district community strategies and the county wide strategy can consider where working together on a larger scale can provide a better solution.
