Watch out the 'CAT IS ABOUT'
Communities Acting Together (CAT) is a resident led committee which offers help and support to residents associations in the Dyke House and Jackson wards and was formed by the residents of these wards.
CAT was established to enable residents associations to help each other and solve problems, along with giving residents a stronger voice to highlight the residents' needs.
|
CAT can also help members to attend training courses on subjects such as fundraising, equal opportunities and skills development. Currently 6 residents associations are involved in CAT: Clarence Road Residents. Furness,Cameron and Belk Residents. Oak and Pine Reidents. Willow Walk Residents. Dyke House Residents. Brougham Area Residents.
The committee actively encourages new membership. If your residents association is interested in attending a CAT meeting, or you would like advance on setting up a residents association please contact: George Bradley: 01429 868431

Neighbourhood Renewal Action Plan
Last year a special Community Conference was held to listern and work with residents, Councilors and key service providers
of Dyke House and Jackson Area. The conference was a huge success and was critical in helping to develop a Neighbourhood
Action Plan for the Dyke House and Jackson Area.
At present there is no new funding available specifically to implement the plan. However, it is anticipated that it will be
influential in the future allocation of resources as the plan identifies the strenghts and weaknesses of the area and provides
a framework for opportunities when they arise.
|
Residents and service providers have looked at 7 themes for improvement within the neighbourhood. The information below illustrates some
of the key actions they have identified which they would like to be address in order to improve the area.
1. Jobs and Ecomomy - Improve awareness of support for people returning to work and retain skilled and qualified people locally.
2. Life Long Learning and Skills - Investigate new venues for learning opportunities and intergenerational activities including arts, sports and cultural opportunities.
