Ladywood Constituency Neighbourhood Management

What is Neighbourhood Management?

• Neighbourhood management brings community and service providers together at a neighbourhood level, to tackle local problems and improve local services.
• The manager views the neighbourhood rather than specific services and develops a systematic, planned approach to improving the quality of life.
• The approach is based on influencing mainstream service providers in how they deliver services and make resource decisions, rather than through the provision of additional special resources.
• The manager is primarily accountable to the local community through a multi-sector board, which focuses on tackling problems from the local citizensperspective.

How does it work?

• Neighbourhood management ensures that local services directly meet the needs of residents by:

• Enabling local people & their representatives to give direction to local services
• Bringing agencies together to achieve a more coherent delivery of local services
• Creating a sense of pride and shared responsibility for the well being of the area and its future development
