Building Success
This is what
we will do to make sure the ward plan is working!
The Ward
Advisory Board will be responsible for checking that the actions set out in the Plan are being achieved. This is a group comprising local
councillors, neighbourhood forums, residents associations and community
organisations representatives.
Ward Committee meetings are held
regularly to give local people a chance to have their say and get
involved in improving their neighbourhood. The Ward Committee will also
follow the progress of actions identified in the Ward Development plan.
