ensuring the LAA remains focused on making a significant
impact for the residents of East Sussex
the SCS and existing LAA would be the starting point for choosing
which indicators to include
Established criteria for the selection of indicators
Set up a Project Board to oversee development
Set up a Project Team to identify and negotiate the
targets to be included, and to identify and secure the
partners who would help deliver the LAA
Negotiated and agreed indicators and targets with
partners and with Government via GOSE
The selection criteria
We selected indicators that would:
 Help deliver priorities within the SCS
 Help deliver district and borough level priorities
 Require a partnership approach for delivery
 Address inequality or deprivation, poor performance,
service improvement and sustainable development
 Be supported by robust data and capable of being
performance managed
 Be able to deliver improvement over 3 years
