Neighbourhood Renewal and Partnership Service
Neighbourhood Renewal and Partnership is a service of around 90 people, established to deliver an efficient and professional service to our communities and partners.
Working in Partnership
The Service plays an important part in reinforcing the Council's objective: "to work in active partnership with the community to improve the quality of life for all its residents", demonstrated by substantial partnership working with a wide range of agencies, stakeholders and local communities. The Service is made up of a number of different teams.
Closing the gap between neighbourhoods
Neighbourhood Renewal and Partnership has a key role in Closing the Gap between our most deprived neighbourhoods and the rest of the city, by bringing a wealth of experience and expertise of delivering services and initiatives which help to address social exclusion and aiming for all our neighbourhoods to become attractive and successful.
