64 of the 74 LSPs in the region (86%) completed a self-assessment in 2008 showing a shift of focus from process to delivery compared to the previous year. A further self-assessment is scheduled for Autumn 2009
Over £500,000 of funding has been drawn down by LSPs in the region for bespoke development activities based on their self-assessments. A comparison of work carried out so far by LSPs in 2007 and 2008/9 is available here.
How can your council get involved?
Completing a self assessment helps your LSP understand its development needs and allows access to financial support from PtP.
