Neighbourhood Committees were set up to open up the Council and improve decision making.
Decisions are made by local Councillors who know the area, in meetings held in local venues, with the involvement of local people. The Committees mean that local services can be tailored to the local area.
The Neighbourhood system also makes it easier for the Council to address different priorities in different part of the Borough, and makes it easier for local people to influence the decisions that affect them.
To find your local Neighbourhood Committee, see the website and search for your postcode.
