Plaistow Community Assemblies 2022
Overview
The Community Assemblies will identify how best to address concerns 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 discuss local priorities, establish community projects for your neighbourhood, and influence how the £100,000 available in your neighbourhood will be spent.

Background
Plaistow Community Neighbourhood is made up of 3 wards: Plaistow North, Plaistow South, and Plaistow West & Canning Town East
In the previous cycle, residents put forward and voted for their top three priorities of concern for each neighbourhood. These priorities will be carried forward to the current cycle.
- Recycling/Litter and Flytipping (e.g. litter picking, Fly tipping, Recycling facilities)
- Community Safety (e.g. Crime reduction, Combat ASB, Safe Spaces, Neighbourhood Watch Schemes)
- Parks & Greenspaces (e.g. Park improvements, Pocket Parks, Community Gardens)
You can find out about projects delivered in the previous cycle here.

We will use this space to invite you to actively contribute in many different ways on how funding is spent on community projects to improve your local area and to also inform you about the progress of the projects. The timeline illustrates the different stages of engagement, both past and present. Only the current stage is open for contributions, but you can also review past engagements and see what is coming up in the future.

Phases
Register for 1st Community Assembly and submit project ideas
The first Community Assemblies for this cycle will take place in May and there will be an option to attend online or in person. These assemblies will be an opportunity to discuss the local priorities in your area and develop community project ideas for the £100,000 available to improve your neighbourhood. This will also be a chance to find out more about how to apply for funding for your project idea.
In the previous cycle, residents put forward and voted for their top three priorities of concern for each neighbourhood. These priorities will be carried forward to the current cycle. The top three voted priorities for Plaistow were:
- Recycling/Litter and Flytipping (e.g. litter picking, Fly tipping, Recycling facilities)
- Community Safety (e.g. Crime reduction, Combat ASB, Safe Spaces, Neighbourhood Watch Schemes)
- Parks & Greenspaces (e.g. Park improvements, Pocket Parks, Community Gardens)
Approximately £100,000 funding is available to spend on community projects that make local improvements for these three priorities. We are looking for residents and community groups to apply for funding and submit ideas for exciting projects that will help address at least one of these local priorities. Residents can apply for up to £5000 and Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector organisations can apply for up to £20,000.
Project applications are open until Sunday 12th June (11:59pm). You can find application forms and guidance in the attachments below.
You will be able to find out more about the application process and discuss your ideas with other local residents at the Community Assembly on 23rd May. Please visit the events section below to register now.
