The document was formally adopted on 22 September 2011 setting out the NP’s priorities along with a series of actions to be implemented up to March 2015 to help bring about NR’s four strategic NR objectives of social, economic, physical and community renewal in the SWBNRA.
It was and remains the Neighbourhood Partnership’s intention that the Action Plan is a ‘fluid’ or ‘living’ document, meaning that the Partnership reserves the right to make changes as delivery is progressed.
This is not intended to change the content and sentiment of the Action Plan but rather to be able, in due course, to add greater detail to the proposed Actions such as practical delivery issues, including associated costs, funding arrangements, statutory sector organisations within the South West area.
The NP believes this will enable the local communities on the ground to take greater
