First formed in 1997 to bring together partners, foster joint action and attract inward investment into the county, the Shropshire Partnership became a Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) in October 2002. It has a membership of 26 councils, countywide partners, regional and countywide organisations.
The Partnership currently operates with a Partnership Board and Executive Group and a series of working groups which are serviced by the partnership support team.
The main duties of the LSP are to:
- Prepare and implement a Community Strategy for the area
- Develop a Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy for the area
- Co-ordinate local plans, partnerships and initiatives providing a forum for key agencies to meet local needs
- Work with councils to develop public service agreements and targets to overcome social exclusion

Shropshire Partnership regeneration activity includes access to selected funding programmes. Switch on Shropshire is one of the projects where help was given to write the bid and technical assistance provided to deliver the project.
| In December 2003, the LSP Board endorsed five key priorities for joint action by lead partners and stakeholders. These five 'action plans' will target efforts to improve Quality of life and well being in Shropshire. |
