Area Partnership and Community Hub PDF 293 KB Report of the Director of Community Protection Additional documents:
Minutes: Prairie Bryant, Neighbourhood Development Officer, introduced the report. Due to the collaborative working of Nottingham City Council and partner organisations during the Government lockdown of the Covid-19 Pandemic, area partnerships evolved naturally to support the community.
Nottingham City Council and partner organisations realised that to continue to support the community they needed a strategic change, a permanent structure to enable them to combine their knowledge and resources to maintain the support of communities, especially the most vulnerable in society.
At the first Area 7 Partnership meeting on the 24th November, the group agreed to the following priorities:
· Mental Health, Isolation, and Loneliness · Food Poverty · Employment
A sub-group has been created to drive improvement under each of these priority areas.
Resolved to
(1)
note the proposed way forward for agreeing a community
hub model for the Clifton East and Clifton West Wards; (2) adopt the 3 priorities recommended by the newly formed Area 7 Partnership.
Councillor Roger Steel requested that his decision to abstain from voting on the above decision was recorded.
