Working alongside the board will be an independent local partnership with much wider participation - including local businesses, organisations and individuals. The partnership will work to identify local priorities and issues that need to be addressed in the area. It will promote local projects that aim tro tackle these issues. The partnership will work to support parish councils and help them deliver projects with resources and professional support. The community board will have funding to support these projects and, impportantly, the partnership and local parishes will be able to challenge the board if fails to act. This is an exciting new way of managing local services, putting the community firmly in the driving seat. You can read more about this project on these pages and by following the links that we have included.
