Key Issues:
We want to encourage residents to become involved in their communities and the decisions that affect their lives. Key initiatives include:
- Newcastle’s Community Empowerment Framework which will ensure greater coordination of existing engagement activities and will enhance major new initiatives like neighbourhood management and Participatory Budgeting
- The development of Neighbourhood Charters which will hold the City Council and Partnership to account for our resident’s local priorities
- The Udecide Participatory Budgeting initiative. Pilots have been completed with success and mainstreaming of this initiative has begun
- Creating ‘community hubs’ which will provide the right mix of services and facilities to address community needs.
Priority Targets:
- People are included in their communities
- People have fair and equal access to places, buildings, services and opportunities
- (Newcastle is a resilient city)
Delivery Plans:
- Community Empowerment Framework
