As a community-led partnership, Get Involved
Community Boards will:
1. infl uence how decisions are made and how
services are delivered
2. represent the voice of local people
3. capture thoughts, ideas and suggestions
4. bring together key community partners and
residents
5. identify local needs and work to produce creative
solutions
There will be many ways the boards will work with
the community to identify what is important in each
area and take action together.
The boards will use local data, intelligence and the
views of people and partners in the community to
identify key areas of focus and priorities for the
board. These priorities will help determine where the
boards take action and allocate funding to improve
the local area.
The boards are all about taking action. Action groups
will explore the local priorities, set up local projects
and fi nd creative ways to make local changes.
Each board has an allocated budget to fund local
projects and initiatives.
There will be fi ve public meetings held each year.
At these meetings, funding is allocated and feedback
will be shared on the plan of action. Action notes
from these meetings will be published online.
Community Board Chair
and Coordinators
Each board is supported by a dedicated chair and
coordinator who will make links with people in the
local community to make sure information is shared
and local views and ideas are heard.
They will make sure the local people, groups and
organisations feel connected with the boards and the
council, developing working relationships across the
community board area.
