Liveability
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has created a Liveability fund of £89 million. Throughout the country, there are twenty seven pilot authorities in receipt of this money. Dudley Council is one of these and has been awarded £3.4 million over three years for its project called Improving Parks for People.
What is our Liveability Project?
Our vision is to improve and enhance parks and green spaces. There are three parts to our project:
- Creation of local Involvement Programme Team to support existing and develop new Friends of the Parks groups.
- Explore a different way to maintain parks and green spaces. Netherton and Priory Park will be pilot projects. It is a condition of the funding that these two parts are delivered in order to release remaining funding which will be used for:
- Delivery of physical improvements on participating parks.
Who are the local involvement Team (LIP)?
The local involvement Team (LIP) are Ishrat Mohammed and Jennie Hoult, seconded from Groundwork Black Country to Dudley Council as part of the Liveability Project. The LIP team will work in partnership with all of the friends of the parks groups to support them and help them to develop their parks. The LIP team is part of the Parks Development Team within Culture and Community Services. The LIP team are currently working with existing Friends Groups.
