As well as meeting with BNDfC Chief Executive
John Clark and City Council Chief Executive Bob Kerslake, Joe Montgomery,
Head of the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit, also met with newly-elected
BNDfC Board members.
John Clark said the meeting had been
really useful, providing the chance to discuss some of the opportunities
and challenges facing Burngreave with the man at the top:
“The Neighbourhood
Renewal Unit has overall responsibility for the entire New Deal
for Communities programme, so it was great to meet Joe and let him
know about some of the really exciting initiatives already up and
running in the area.
“Naturally, the Advancing
Together proposal for joint working with the City Council was one
of the major items for discussion, and the message came through
loud and clear from Joe that New Deal for Communities is a partnership
approach to influencing and improving mainstream services and therefore
investment in mainstream services is key to its success.” |
