Neighbourhood Management

The Sharrow Partnership is about delivering neighbourhood management in Sharrow. The key aim of the partnership is to bring together local people with service providers, like the Council, the Police, health services and education to improve local services and make them more appropriate to Sharrow. It’s best to approach Neighbourhood Management in Sharrow as a process not a project, a new way for local people in Sharrow to work with their local agencies to improve and join-up services at neighbourhood level. The key point is that residents’ concerns should be more important in defining what is done than agencies’ assumptions about what should be done.

The Sharrow Partnership has received funding from central government until March 2010 to show how neighbourhood management can make a real difference and we are determined to make sure that the difference lasts. Nationwide, the process of neighbourhood management has improved important local issues such as community safety, the environment and services for young people. Our challenge is to create a way of working that works for Sharrow and brings about similar improvement. We will be using the Neighbourhood Management process

As a tool for delivering service improvements and better outcomes at the Sharrow neighbourhood level.
To ensure effective partnership working between a wide range of service providers, residents and other local stakeholders.
To enable Sharrow Partners to share a common aim: to improve local services and make them customer rather than provider led.
