What are Neighbourhood Committees?
Neighbourhood Committees are made up of
elected city council members as well as representatives from parish
councils, the police authority, fire authority and members of local
community groups, plus ordinary members of the public.
The first meetings for each of the seven neighbourhood
committees have now taken place. At these meetings residents met
their neighbourhood committee chairmen, their ward councillors and
their neighbourhood managers. These meetings heralded the dawn of a
new era in Peterborough. Neighbourhood committees are a new way for
you to give your views about issues and services in your area, in
your own community, rather than having to attend meetings in the
Town Hall.
In the future, you will be able to put forward your views on how
funding could be spent in your area to help shape what happens in
your neighbourhood. Neighbourhood committees are made up of elected
city council members as well as representatives from parish
councils, the police authority, fire authority and members of local
community groups, plus ordinary members of the public
The committees will give you a chance to give your views on a
multitude of local services, among them street cleaning, abandoned
vehicles and the dog warden service. They will also be able to give
their views on the yearly programme of highways works, allotments,
parks, open spaces, public toilets and car parks. As the councils
take shape, don’t miss your chance to play a role in local
services.
