The city's 28 wards are grouped into 7 Local Area Partnerships (LAP), each made up of 4 wards.

Each LAP co-ordinates a number of neighbourhood projects that tackle agreed ‘strategies’ priorities which contribute to the ward priorities, improve or integrate service delivery and increase community resilience. 

Membership of the LAPs and the various neighbourhood project groups reflect the priority being tackled, but generally include:

  • local councillors
  • public sector services
  • private businesses
  • the voluntary, community and faith sector

Ward Pots

The Councillors' Ward Pots aim to support stronger, successful communities by making grants available to local voluntary, community, and self-help groups and projects that want to make a difference in their local community and which contribute to at least one of the ward priorities. £250,000 has been split across all 28 wards. The allocation for each ward is calculated using Indices of Multiple Deprivation.

Each area has a Twitter and Facebook account as well as a blog site. These help to promote local news, meetings and events in the area.
