Neighbourhood Management Areas
In 2003, we recognised that the delivery of our key services across the city was patchy and uneven. In some areas there was no problem, but in others there were diverse issues such as rubbish dumping, litter dropping and anti-social behaviour.
Quite rightly, we found that some communities thought that their own individual problems or aspirations were not being addressed. Our approach, like every other local authority, had been to apply a "one size fits all" philosophy to everything we did - but this failed to take account of many local circumstances.
After talking to many people, in 2004 we developed the new Neighbourhood Management Division. Different areas of the city were allocated their own dedicated team who would be familiar with the geography, social issues, service providers and funding partners and would therefore work on behalf of their respective communities. These teams would also provide the basis for better and more dedicated support to the work of Neighbourhood Committees and Cluster Partnerships.
Each of our five Neighbourhood Management Areas has a Neighbourhood Manager with responsibility for the teams of staff who now administer them. Each team has clear responsibility for developing and delivering the local neighbourhood regeneration agenda as set out in the Liverpool First Community Plan and Liverpool Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy.
The teams have responsibility for, or a role in:
- Neighbourhood Services
- Residents Liaison, including Community Forums, Community Groups and Local Steering Groups
- Environmental Care and Maintenance
- Neighbourhood Wardens
- Local Area Enforcement issues
- Support for Neighbourhood Committees and Cluster Partnerships
- Project Development and Delivery
- JET's (Jobs, Education & Training provision)
- Youth provision
- Community Safety
- Ensuring local PSA (Public Service Agreement) targets - as set out in the Liverpool Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy - are met
