Neighbourhood Improvement Panel

The Neighbourhood Improvement Panel meets 4 to 6 times a year to consider and approve bids from residents or staff for funding from a dedicated Neighbourhood Improvement Fund. 

 

The fund is available for improvements to communal areas of estates and housing schemes, and will be spent on successful applications for the benefit of all local residents.

 

The fund is available to Atlantic tenants, including those in sheltered schemes, and can be used to make physical improvement works to external and internal communal areas, for example new park benches, lighting, youth shelters or landscaping.

 

Proposals that have support from local residents and are possible in terms of building standards and Health & Safety will be submitted to the Neighbourhood Improvement Panel, which is made up of staff and Pavilion residents. Their decisions will be based on:

 

Benefit to the neighbourhood / community

Community support

Quality of life

Community safety

Social and environmental factors

 

 

If you have any ideas for improvements to your local area and would like to make an application to the Neighbourhood Improvement Panel please contact the Customer Services Team on freephone 0800 0191 469 and ask to speak to your Neighbourhood Manager.
