Community Development

Community Development is about giving you the power to improve your life and community. We will help and encourage you to get more involved in your neighbourhood, so that you can take a lead in building safer and more inclusive communities.  This involves a range of initiatives, including:

• surveys to understand neighbourhood needs and priorities
• estate-based community projects
• environmental works
• partnership working between you, us and other agencies to find and deliver   ways to improve your community.

We will also support local resident groups to find and apply for, external funding for their projects. We will provide training to help you develop the skills and experience you will need to comtribute to community projects.
