Bishopston, Cotham, Redland Neighbourhood Partnership Plan 2015/16 - 2017/18 Our vision is to make the Bishopston, Cotham, Redland Neighbourhood Partnerships area clean, green, safe, healthy and prosperous Background Bishopston, Cotham, Redland (BCR) Neighbourhood Partnership is situated in the north of the city of Bristol. The 2011 census showed that there is a resident population of 38,200, the second largest NP population in the city. 10% of the population is Black and minority ethnic (city average 16%). BCR is one of the most affluent NP areas in Bristol. Educational attainment is high in children at key stages 2 and 4; and the number of university graduates is among the highest in the UK (as part of Bristol West Parliamentary constituency). Owner occupied housing is about average but there are huge variances within the NP (Redland 68%, Cotham 39.7%); car ownership is one of the highest in the city, but more people cycle to work than any other NP Money Purpose This plan gives a full picture of the work the Neighbourhood Partnership will seek to deliver, influence and support over the next 3 years (2015-18) as well as work it aspires to deliver if resources become available. The Plan will: Prioritise work and projects using resources at its disposal Show aspirational work and projects to be prioritised and allocated against once resources are secured Be reviewed regularly The planned activities all contribute to the Mayor’s priorities for Bristol. Evidence Both qualitative and quantitative data and evidence is shown to demonstrate why priorities are included For BCR, the desire is often to retain and build on the NP area’s high quality of life indicators, rather than remedial work to deal with shortfalls Neighbourhood Partnership Resources The NP has a devolved (start of year) budget of £57,213. This is made up of what were previously the Highways, Wellbeing and Clean and Green budgets. The NP is now free to allocate these funds according to this plan, rather than the previous budget allocations. The NP has some Section 106 funds. This is money that developers of larger sites pay to the council to reduce the impact of the development. Developers sign a S106 agreement as part of their planning permission. This is a legal document that specifies what the money is spent on and where. For example, S106 money is used to make improvements to highways, parks, public transport and schools. The NP can spend its S106 allocations providing they are within the criteria agreed with developers Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) allows local planning authorities to raise funds from developers who are undertaking new building projects in their area. The funds raised will go towards infrastructure that is needed to support the growth of the city, such as schools and transport improvements. The NPs receives a proportion of this CIL funding (BCR current total - £5,606.24), which it is able to spend within the broader criteria set down in the CIL regulations (and the priorities in this plan) Other funds may from time to time be allocated to the Neighbourhood Partnership for expenditure. For example, Bristol Green Capital funding, Community Sports Action funds and Public Health funding. The NP will seek to allocate or spend these funds according to the priorities agreed in this plan Other Help The Neighbourhood Partnership works together with others to provide a stronger approach to neighbourhood working. These partners may bring in expertise, funding, staff, or all three. These partners may include: The wider Bristol City Council corporate structure such as Highways, Parks, Public Health etc Other Public bodies such as the Police Voluntary and community organisations Registered Social landlords Charities The Business Community RESIDENTS of BCR NP People Local ward Councillors and Neighbourhood Partnership members Neighbourhood Partnership Coordinator (18.5 hours per week) Neighbourhood Officer (18.5 hours per week) Occasional Community Development and other officer support (TO BE AGREED) 1 Tempate 2015/16 to 2017/18 Neighbourhood Partnership Plan Summary of Priorities and themes Environment (Global Green Capital) We want our community to have a healthy, clean, safe, well-maintained environment Theme 1: Parks and Green Spaces: 1.1.1 Promote improvements to Parks and green spaces Theme 2: 1.2 Street Scene/Public places 1.1.2.
