We are a well established group with a dedicated group of committee members. Our public meetings are generally well attended, however we would happily welcome more support from the local community.
We are working towards:-
-
Improving community spirit
-
Keeping the area in a good condition
-
Updating and keeping facilities modern and in good condition
-
Improving Road Safety
-
Increasing facilities for Young People
To make all of these worthwhile things happen, we need the support of local people. So come and give us your support in anyway you can.
The group hold regular estate walkabouts with our Housing Manager. During these multi-agency walks we identify issues across the area that need work or improvements carring out. These walks are an ideal opportunity for local people to get involved and tell us what you think about the area you live in... so if you see us out and about why not join us?
-
We identify possible community safety bids
-
Identify capital bid opportunities
-
Identify problems that need addressing
The group are looking to produce newsletters, this will be a way to keep the community involved and up to date with our projects.
Working in Partnership
The group work closely with other Tenants and Residents Associations in the area (old St Andrews Ward) and are involved with a community phone line. Local people can call the helpline for advice or assistance with housing and local issues, the line is managed by volunteers and was initially funded through money obtained by Bowling Green Tenants and Residents Association for winning a Respect Award. If you need to contact the helpline, then please call 01384 831304.
We work in partnership with Council Officers and our local Councillors to ensure that the 'Voice of Darby End' is heard.
For more information please contact Jo Gumus, Participation Development Officer by email Participation Development Team or telephone 01384 815168.
