Neighbourhood Partnerships
The new Neighbourhood Partnerships in Bristol are the council's response to recent Govt legislation on involving communities in improving their neighbourhoods. Ours is going to be the Ashley, Easton and Lawrence Hill NP. This NP is the last to be launched in the city it seems, and the inaugural meeting will be on 10th February. (details below). It is open to all residents and community and voluntary groups in the area and is intended as a forum to bring together ideas for local improvement to services and environment. Furthermore, Voscur website ( http://www.voscur.org/brispartnership/np ) explains the Bristol Neighbourhood Partnerships. I would recommend you listen to these 2 webcasts too on You Tube, as they explain it all quite well. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2TYtKVZffoo&feature=channel_page and http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tsJnISCZMLE&feature=channel_page (this is a 2 part video on Neighbourhood Partnerships. )
Now, less of the cynicism please ..... lets be positive. I will be going anyway as a member of the St. Werbs Brooks /planning group, but any one of you can attend!!!
Representation ..... as I said, any one can go to these meetings. I am making a plea however, that in the interest of sharing information, if anyone goes to these meetings and the spin off meetings that will surely happen, please could you use this section of the website to post what you found out, whats going on ... ? Anything you feel others would wish to know in our neighbourhood. Voscur are running a FREE training session on representing your community. (got to training section on their website for more info)
