Can anyone be involved in their local Neighbourhood Action Group?

A Neighbourhood Action Group tries to be representative of its neighbourhood, and is encouraged to include members from the Local Authority, Parish or Town Council, Youth Service, Neighbourhood Watch, Police, the Fire and Rescue Service, the local businesses, residents and members of voluntary and community groups.

One of the keys to a successful NAG is that the people involved are active in the business of the NAG and willing and able to organise tasks to be done.

How are the priorities decided?

Each NAG sets its own priorities (usually three main priorities for a year) using a variety of information gained from local residents to inform its decisions (for example issues brought up at the annual forum, issues from Borough wide surveys or consultations, Crime and Disorder data from the Police).  By doing this the NAGs can tackle the main issues raised by residents such as lack of involvement with young people, anti social behaviour or raising drivers’ awareness of their speeds in certain areas.

However, incidents of e.g. broken lights or fly tipping can be reported direct to the Council’s Customer Service team on 01344-352000.

Incidents of anti-social behaviour can be reported direct to the Crime and Disorder reduction team on 01344-352286.

How often do Neighbourhood Action Groups meet?

Neighbourhood Action Groups meet three times a year, in the spring, summer and winter, and each meeting lasts from an hour to an hour and a half. In the autumn, each NAG holds an Open Forum meeting where all neighbourhood residents can attend and raise issues which can inform the following years’ priorities. The Chairmen of the Groups meet three times a year (between meetings of the NAGs) to share any issues that have arisen in their neighbourhood, and the methods they have used to deal with them.
