What does the DtS Board do?

Market Gate

The DtS Board oversees the partnership as a whole and makes sure that effort and activity is directed where it is needed the most. 

The Board meets approximately every six weeks.

The DtS Board:

  • Takes the lead in identifying priorities, and in monitoring and coordinating community consultation and engagement 

  • Produces the Borough Strategy – to establish a shared local vision 

  • Produces a Local Area Agreement (LAA)

  • Has oversight of local planning and alignment of resources where relevant to the Borough Strategy and LAA

  • Reviews and performance manages progress against the priorities and targets of the LAA, and ensure delivery arrangements are in place for achieving them

  • Ensures that we have the right infrastructure to function and deliver

  • Ensures cross cutting challenges are progressed within the partnership

The Board is supported in this by a group which is made up of officers from all the organisations that make up the DtS Partnership.  This officers group meets around a week after each DtS Board meeting.
