Local neighbourhood budgets

Broxbourne Council has made available up to £100,000 for local neighbourhood budgets. The amount has been allocated across the six local neighbourhood fora on a proportionate basis, based on the level of population in the area and the level of crime and disorder incidents.

The Council produces a quarterly report detailing projects completed during the last quarter, in response to a request from the Scrutiny Committee. This is the first Local Neighbourhood Budgets Summary,

These budgets can be used to fund projects in the local area and can be nominated by local residents, local councillors or other agencies. The Council has set very wide parameters to the types of projects that could be considered, so provided there is evidence to show the proposal will potentially improve community safety in that area. Projects could include fencing, lighting improvements or additional targeted actions by the Council or the Police to address an identified problem of anti-social behaviour.

If you wish to nominate a project for consideration please contact the community safety team on 01992 785577 or e-mail community.safety@broxbourne.gov.uk. For a list of the latest projects see the related links section to the right.
