Green Street Community Assemblies
Overview
The Community Assemblies will identify and discuss how best to address challenges in your area. The assemblies give you and your neighbours direct influence to create a shared vision for the place where you live, work or learn and to help shape its development and growth. This will be your chance to set priorities, establish community projects for your neighbourhood, influence decision making, and have a greater say in how local funding of approximately £100,000 will be spent.

Phases
Top 3 Priorities Announced, Project Ideas & Registration for 2nd Community Assembly
The top 3 chosen priorities for the 2021/22 Green Street Community Assembly cycle are:
- Invest in Parks and Green Spaces
- Community Safety
- Cleaner Environment
£100,000 funding is available to spend on community projects that make local improvements in these three priorities. Of this funding:
- £30,000 is available for local residents / community groups to submit project proposals
- £70,000 is available for Voluntary, Community and Faith sector (VC&FS) partners to submit proposals.
We are looking for residents and the community to apply for funding and submit ideas for exciting projects that will help address at least one of these local priorities. Also in this phase please feel free to view and leave constructive comments on the project proposals that have been submitted below.
All project proposals will go through a two-stage application process and will be assessed by the Green Street Community Assembly Working Group. Projects which meet the spending criteria will be announced and will go forward for other local residents to vote on in phases 5 and 6.
To access the funding criteria and initial application form please use the relevant attachments below.
The deadline to submit an initial project proposal to your Community Neighbourhood team is 15 June 2021. Once you've submitted your proposal, a project description (maximum of 200 words) will also need to be uploaded to the idea section below.
