Local Neighbourhood Partnerships (LNPs) have been operating in Walsall for five years. Initially, LNPs were an exemplar for community engagement. However, the demand and expectations for high quality engagement, giving local people influence over services and priorities in their area, has increased. In 2008, the Chair of Walsall Partnership and the Chief Executive of Walsall Council ordered a review of LNPs to be undertaken by Walsall Partnership. Consultant support was secured with the support of the Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (RIEP). Partners and LNPs were widely consulted.
