We're working on the first-ever Neighbourhood Charter for Dene. The charter sets out what local people tell us are the main things that we and other agencies need to do to make the area a better place for everyone.
A Neighbourhood Charter is an agreement between you, the community, and us with our partners such as the police and health service at a local level. A charter can be for any part of the city but in this case it's for Dene and its neighbourhoods. The purpose of a charter is to help us give you the services you want at a local level to improve your quality of life. This includes giving you a bigger say over health, housing, employment, education, policing and local facilities. Charters are designed to give local people a say in the decisions that affect their day-to-day life. They can be helpful in understanding problems, identifying what's most important for action, and measuring how well we are doing making changes.
The priorities have been shared with services providers and they have identifed actions and responses to these with timescales. The Neighbourhood Charter was formally launched at the Sept 2010 Ward Committee.
The agreed priorities will now be monitored through the Ward Committee over the coming 12 months.
