Issues, Actions and Plans
Priorities for 2007-2008
The priorities and projects in the Area Plan are based on local knowledge gained from members of the Panel (local councillors), work with local groups, comments received from the public at roadshows, the expertise of departmental Link Officers and ongoing work from last year’s plan.
Each priority will be developed with other voluntary and statutory organisations; it is one way that the Area Panel can use its potential influence to improve conditions of life for people in Burngreave – but it cannot happen on its own.
Each priority will have a particular target for this area of work to be completed by March 2008; together with an indication of who else will be contributing to this work.
The Area Panel will also continue to directly influence provision in Burngreave by its use of Neighbourhood Renewal Funding (NRF) until March 2008.
