Southwark is a dynamic and diverse borough with a growing population.
The latest population estimates, from 2008, place the borough as having
278,000 residents, which is over 33,000 more than in 2001 and over
58,000 since 1991.
Our local strategic partnership has an ambitious ten year plan which sets out what people want the borough to be like over the next decade, and what needs to be done to get there.
It is an important document that guides the work of all statutory agencies in Southwark. This also includes partners in the voluntary, faith and business sectors. An extensive consultation was held with local service providers and the wider community.
It takes into account emerging trends in the borough and in London more generally.
The local strategic partnership is currently undergoing review to meet the challenges and respond to the opportunities of the future. This review includes a review of the partnership website. Further information and more details on the partnership will be available through this site in the near future.
Our website is currently being updated, and minutes from previous and future meetings will be available shortly.
