Neighbourhood Management (NM) 2006 till 2011, is this a success story, how do you measure success, how do the community perceive NM, was it a successful undertaking,

We can only say that the group were all volunteers but dedicated in the pursuit of community enhancement and a sincere ethos for betterment through out the full community, building bridges within the community braking down old barriers of Tanterton / Ingol us and them.

We achieved this cohesion by ensuring that we built on partnership arrangements with all service providers stakeholders faith groups  associations residents, this mix was also part of the N M steering / board group, and in the main all I T personage

The other parts of NM were the action groups, who by observation / comments from community members advised on possible betterment valued community projects, the end result was a noticeable improvement within our community.

Then in 2010 / 2011 N M was disbanded along with many other cut backs, but N M had clearly shown that with a local group in being and if small revenue could be raised we could carry on as previous we now had the desired ethos continuing but now under NC banner.

People in communities care about where they live, and therefore on the road too betterment cohesion and partnership make this achievable, a fact well substantiated by 4 /5 years under NM and the valued partners achieved in the partnership process.

A new beginning with NC 2012 following on with the ethos of well being and sustained partnership throughout, understanding our priorities and ensuring fairness in all matters, healing actions not harming actions, Some community needs maybe difficult too fulfill.

 But some needs are morale imperatives for the intended ethos and continuation of quality within it all as the custom and practice that NM adhered too, and approached all project funding request on merit justification and best practices for the community.
