Neighbourhood priorities

  1. Bring people together to build a sense of belonging and community pride in the neighbourhood.
  2. Enhance wellbeing and pride in the neighbourhood by improving the physical environment through working with residents and local services to make best use of our green and public spaces.
  3. Improve the health of children and young people and boosting wellbeing for all will be supported by improving road safety, encouraging physical activity and active travel, and reducing reliance on motor vehicles for school journeys.
  4. Improve communication between residents and services including the council to provide a more localised, accessible and community-centred offer.

These neighbourhood priorities have a strong alignment with the Council Plan Pillars and will be pivotal in the delivery of the plan itself, as well as wider partnership city plans and strategies.

The neighbourhood model explained

Each neighbourhood is led by a designated manager who works collaboratively with council services and partners to identify and address the key issues facing the neighbourhood.

By adopting the neighbourhood approach rather than 'one size fits all' model, we will ensure solutions are tailored. We will:

  • use data and insight
  • listen to and understand local needs and demands model
  • work alongside our diverse communities to drive improvements
  • achieve the best possible outcomes at a neighbourhood level

Neighbourhood priorities have a strong alignment with the Council Plan Pillars and will be pivotal in the delivery of the Council Plan and wider partnership plans and strategies.
