"LSPs have the opportunity to drive forward an agenda that recognises the economic development role of mainstream services; something that economic development agencies do not have the capacity to undertake. This is particularly important given the impact of such activities on local economic well-being. It should therefore be a priority of LSPs to act as a strategic framework and conduit between economic development agencies and mainstream service providers." - National evaluation of LSPs – Economic development issues paper, 8 december 2005
