The Community Partnership Steering Group has been up and running since April 2004. The Steering Group has a Strategic role by bringing together all of the Community Partnerships. The aims are set out below:
- Learn and share experience with each other
- Work together on projects and funding bids that cut across Community Partnership areas
- Monitor the Neighbourhood Renewal actions to ensure effective progress is made
- Monitor Darlington Borough Council's Community Partnerships Service Plan
- Link the Community Partnership representatives on the Darlington Partnership Board with all 11 Community Partnerships, allowing for two way communication
The membership of the Steering Group consists of a representative from each of the eleven Community Partnerships. Community Partnership representatives who sit on the Darlington Partnership Board and the four thematic groups are also invited to meetings, to allow for two-way communication.
The members of the Steering Group will invite officers from organisations to attend as and when their expertise is required, also when they want to call into account officers and organisations on the progress of the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy actions.
Work is currently being undertaken with each of the Community Partnerships to identify actions that the Steering Group can take forward.
The group discusses the Council's Community Partnerships Section Service Plan - pdf document.
The group works within a Terms of Reference - pdf document . They monitor the progress made towards the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy targets and reviewed the Community partnerships Division Service Plan for 2008/2009
