Activities and projects the Partnership is involved in:

• Play Scheme – We provided a fun filled summer holiday and a few activities in half terms for kids to be able to have fun for a small charge on their doorstep.  This year we are hoping to employ play workers with grant money we have applied for.  We feel that this is an invaluable resource for the community and that this is proven by the amount of children that take part in the scheme.  For more information about the play scheme contact Carole at the Community Centre on (01325) 380805
   
• Litter initiative – We are trying to combat the litter issue with residents in the ward, especially with young people who are often the main culprits of littering in the area.  We have arranged litter picks regularly to try to encourage residents and young people to take pride in their area and to take care of where they put their rubbish.  We hope to expand this project further with other strands.

• The Community Garden project started from residents prioritising what they wanted to see in their area.  Tidying up areas that were currently under used and caused resident’s problems.  The area of land next to Mount Pleasant school between Newton Lane and Whitby Way was drawn to our attention and we hope that with help from residents and grant funding we will be able to make this area much more inviting and better for those that live and walk near it. 

Our action plan - pdf document is the document which is our map for the year to come.  We have identified what is important for the ward and have tried to think of positive ways of making a difference for the benefit of the ward.  Have a look and see if there are actions you would like to get involved with or if you have other ideas you would like to share with us.
