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
