Executive
Director’s Update
Hi,
my name is John Clark and I was recently appointed as Executive
Director for Burngreave New Deal for Communities. If you want
to know a little more about me, there was an article in the
last edition of the Burngreave Messenger.
I hope to make this update a regular slot,
to keep the community of Burngreave informed about the issues
I am involved in along with the New Deal board and staff team.
I started work at the New Deal for Communities
office in Albion House on Monday 15th July 2002. Yes, I know,
this isn’t in the New Deal area! We are already looking
at this and expect to have some positive news about relocating
into the area in the next edition.
I have moved into a flat in the area and hope
to use this as an opportunity to meet local residents and
get a clear understanding of the issues and opportunities
that are important to you.
I have received a warm welcome from everybody
I have met so far and have sensed a real passion about wanting
to make New Deal work.
I really believe that we can put past disappointments
behind us, and work together to improve the quality of life
for everyone in Burngreave.
As I am
writing this on only my third day in post, you can expect
a lot more about what is being delivered with New Deal support
in the next edition, Until then ….John

BURNGREAVE
- A TREMENDOUS HERITAGE
The
Language Support Conference on Thursday 18 July at SADACCA
was well attended with nearly forty people from a wide range
of organisations and local residents.
The conference
included feedback on the recent report and progress with the
consortium and the agency. Important questions were asked
and constructive comments made on how the agency will work
in practice. People also acknowledged that a great deal of
high quality work had been completed at great speed, and that
the Language Support Agency has a key role to play. As Mike
Reynolds, consortium member, said: ‘We are in a multicultural
and multilingual area which has diversity and richness and
a tremendous heritage that the Language Support Agency must
foster.’
