PARTNERSHIP BOARD
The Partnership Board is the locally appointed body that manages the Communities First plan for the Stow Hill area on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government. As such it is appointed by local community and accountable on the one hand to the community for the development and implementation of the plan and on the other to the Assembly Government for the proper fiscal management of allocated funds.
The Partnership Board is made up of members of the local community drawn in roughly equal proportions from three key stakeholders:
- the local resident community
- Business and voluntary organisations
- Statutory bodies
Each member shall have a concern for fair play, respect and open discussion and be aware of sensitivities in relation to cultural issues and equal opportunities policies seeking to include the views of all parts of the community. Members will work together to develop a shared vision for the development and improvement of the Stow Hill ward and improvemens to the quality of life for its residents and people who work here. The Board meets at least four times year and meetings are open to members of the public. Diary of meetings.
COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN
The Partnership will consult widely with the local community and devise a "Vision" setting out their long-term (10 year) aims and short and medium term plans for the community in relation to six key themes:
- business and jobs;
- education and training;
- environment;
- health and well-being;
- community activity
- community safety.
The Community Action Plan will set out short, medium and long-term goals over a 3, 5 & 10 year period under the six key themes determined in its Vision. The Plan will specify how overall implementation of the plan is to be monitored and evaluated and how the monitoring and evaluation of individual projects / tasks / activities is to feed into this. The action plan will have to demonstrate that it has approval of the Partnership and that community residents have been fully consulted and involved in its development.
The Board is currently engaged in the development a series of local consultations to involve as many in the local community as possible and help identify priorities for the action plan. Additional pages will be put up on this site to chart the progress of the plan as it progresses.
