Progress report on this Liveable Neighbourhood area
We have submitted a full business case (FBC) for the Liveable Neighbourhood Programme and, in discussion with ward councillors, agreed not to pursue funds to develop a Liveable Neighbourhood in this area in 2024.
This is due to budgetary constraints. Should further funding opportunities arise next year, we will engage the community.
For more information on how we reached this decision, please read our press release on the submission of the FBC.
