The Strategic Growth Partnership (Community Planning Partnership) was formed to provide overall governance and oversight of the Community Planning Process.  This partnership is co-chaired by the community and voluntary sector, the business sector and the statutory sector together with the Mayor. The statutory partners named in the legislation are joined by political representatives, some Central Government Departments, the Community and Voluntary (C&V) Sector and other key regional support partners.

The Strategic Growth Partnership provides the strategic direction for the development, implementation, delivery, monitoring and review of the both the Strategic Growth Plan and the 8 Local Area Based Community Plans.

The Strategic Growth Partnership meets quarterly.  Details of meetings including minutes and papers can be found at the links below
