Area Priority Plan

Minutes:

Jean Croot, Head of the Safer, Stronger Communities Unit asked the meeting to participate in a voting exercise to ascertain local views regarding the priorities in the Tottenham and Seven Sisters neighbourhood  for the 2010/11 Area Priority Plans.  Jean explained that the results would be collated and fed into the draft local plan which would then be presented to the Assembly for further comments.  Once agreed the plan would inform the work of the Area Assembly and Neighbourhood Management in conjunction with ward Councillors and Council services, by indicating and highlighting residents’ priorities.

 

The voting exercise provided the following results –

 

Topic – An Environmentally Sustainable Future: The three priorities were; clean streets, safer parks and open spaces with more facilities, reducing fly tipping and dumping

 

People at the Heart of Change: residents more involved in decision making and shaping local services, shared activities for older and younger people, people taking responsibility for and respecting each other

 

People and Customer Focus:  improved services for older and vulnerable people, more activities for children and young people, improving access to local services

 

Healthier People with a Better Quality of Life:  decent affordable homes, mental health support, reduce alcohol and drug abuse
