A DOCUMENT outlining how the council, police, health agencies and voluntary sector organisations will work together has been signed.

The Local Compact aims to make each agency provide better services for residents because they will all work to the same set of principles.

It was signed by the heads of Bromley Council, Bromley police, the Bromley Primary Care Trust, the Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust, mental health trust Oxleas and voluntary organisation Community Links.

Community Links' chief executive Julie Fuller said: "We are delighted at the launch of the Local Compact in Bromley.

"It is a significant development in the relationship between the public sector and voluntary sector.

"We are all committed to providing better services for the residents of Bromley and this agreement enables us to work together better.

"The voluntary sector welcomes recognition of its contribution to making Bromley a better place."
