PLAN FOR NEIGHBOURHOODS
DUDLEY IS IN THE MIDST OF AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER IN ITS HISTORY
Plan for Neighbourhoods (previously known as Long Term Plan for Towns) is a 10-year, £20m programme, that requires local people and their priorities to be at the centre of the process, supported by long-term flexible funding.
A key principle is that it must involve local people from the outset, requiring representation from the community. This includes faith groups, local charities, neighbourhood forums, the NHS, police, Dudley Council for Voluntary Services, arts, heritage and sporting organisations.
The preparation of the Plan for Neighbourhoods must include community engagement. This will be maintained throughout the initiative to define the key community issues to tackled and test potential projects.
Thriving places, stronger communities, and taking back control are the three goals for Plan for Neighbourhoods (PfN).
Dudley Neighbourhood Board
Dudley Council has set up a new Board to manage the establishment and operation of the Dudley Town PfN programme, as a progression from the previous Town Board. Government requires the new Board to be fit for purpose (as a community led initiative) and to focus on the three goals.
Dudley Council will be engaging with community groups during the coming months and that may lead to additional representation on the Board, as well as possible sub-groups at a level below the main Board, to help prepare and deliver the new Neighbourhood Plan.
More information on Dudley Neighbourhood Board is available on the Dudley projects page.
