Vale of Glamorgan Local Service Board

What is the Local Service Board?

The Vale of Glamorgan Local Service Board (LSB) is made up of the main public sector and community organisations operating in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Its role is to improve the way that public bodies and communities work together. The LSB does this by providing collective leadership on the issues of most importance to the residents of the Vale.

This includes:

• Developing a clear, shared vision of the priorities for the Vale of Glamorgan, and to draw up a Community Strategy reflecting those priorities

• Reviewing the range, membership and ways of working of all partnerships operating in the Vale

• Promoting opportunities for the pooling of resources between partner organisations

• Identifying new methods and locations for planning, commissioning and delivering services

• Agreeing the Local Service Agreement with Welsh Government and oversee its delivery.

• Developing a common performance management framework linked to the Local Service Agreement which is adopted by all partnerships

• Developing a clear process for engaging the citizens of the Vale of Glamorgan in the work of the LSB

• The Community Strategy (2011-21).
