Neighbourhood Management in Mablethorpe, Trusthorpe and Sutton on Sea
 

The second meeting of the Neighbourhood Management Board was held on Thursday 3 April 2008. The meeting was very well attended with some lively debate concerning local issues.

Colin Greenaway (vice chairman) commented “Although it is still early days since its inception, we do feel it is already beginning to show results in improving the environment for the local residents.

Residents are urged to attend the local neighbourhood management panel meetings where they can voice their concern and make suggestions for improvements for the area where they live in an informal and friendly environment.

We feel sure that with the involvement of the residents, we really can make a difference”.

NEIGHBOURHOOD Management is led by local residents. It enables residents and service providers to work in partnership in the area to improve local services and to build a cohesive and inclusive community where there is a sense of pride in the local area.

The Board meets bi-monthly and will be responsible for developing an action plan to improve the area and then to monitor progress to ensure improvements are made to local services.

The Board consists of 15 local residents, they are:

Representing Mablethorpe:
Malcolm Nicholls, Elizabeth Smart, Michael Evans, Rosemary Payne and Josie Creamer.

Representing Trusthorpe
:
Ann Britz, Patricia Gordon, Colin Greenaway, Peter Flack and John Simpson .

Representing Sutton on Sea:
Sue Neville, Don Taylor, Ivan Maxwell, Doreen Hinde and Nicholas Dennis.

The Partnership Board also includes representatives from Lincolnshire Police, the voluntary sector, Lincolnshire County Council and local businesses.

Six Theme Groups have been established to tackle local issues, including policing and dog fouling enforcement, young people services and facilities, transport and accessibility, regeneration and housing, improved communication and education and health services.

Local Neighbourhood Panel meetings have been established in each of the three areas, Mablethorpe, Trusthorpe and Sutton on Sea. The Panels will meet two weeks before the Partnership Board, allowing residents to raise issues that will then be fed into the Board.

Recently appointed Chairman of the Partnership Board, Nicholas Dennis, said: “This establishes a channel for residents to voice their opinions, fears and moans in a less formal setting than the established local government channels, and gives everyone the chance to be involved in building a better area. Mablethorpe, Trusthorpe and Sutton on Sea deserve improvement, so come in with us and make a difference,” he said.
