We received a report informing the HSP about the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund outturn for 2005/06.  The report also included details of new project proposals from the Well-Being Partnership Board, for approval by the HSP.

With regards to the Safer Neighbourhoods Policing Team, we learned that the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund had allocated a sum of money for the Wood Green Team to ‘go live’ ahead of schedule.  Following the bringing forward of their implementation by the Metropolitan Police, we noted that this money would now used for strengthening the teams in Wood Green and other hotspots.  Officers agreed to come back with a short briefing on what the money was allocated for, what is now being used for and how that contributed to the wider community safety agenda.

Members raised concern that housing had been excluded from consideration for Neighbourhood Renewal Fund projects.  Members noted that other fundinc streams were available to be fed directly into housing projects, and that linkage was maintained through the Housing Partnership Group sitting under the Well-Being Partnership Board.

RESOLVED:

1. That we note the final outturn as set out in the report.

2. That we approve the programme for 2006/07

3. That Officers produce a short briefing for Members on the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund money allocated for the Wood Green Safer Neighbourhoods Policing Team.
