We are working to make lasting improvements to the
economic, social and environmental fabric of North
Somerset.
In particular we are working with disadvantaged communities to
improve quality of life and increase opportunities for local
people.
North Somerset has attracted almost £5m of
Single
Regeneration Budget funding for regeneration projects in
Pill and the south and central wards of Weston-super-Mare.
Partnerships formed to carry out these improvements include the
Weston Regeneration
Partnership and the Pill Strategy Group/Pill Community
Foundation.
We are involved in a number of other schemes to tackle
deprivation including projects to help people back into work such
as
ready4work and our partnership in the Healthy Living Centre in
Weston.
We look at deprived areas and works to improve the quality of life
for residents and have neighbourhood management plans to focus on
individual sections of the community. This is helped by parish
plans.
A major regeneration programme has started in Weston including
Weston Vision and
the
Civic Pride Initiative with work also underway to redevelop key
sites such as the Tropicana and Knightstone Island.
For further information about our priorities and plans for
regeneration please read our Corporate
Plan and
Community Strategy.
