It also highlights the latest issues now being addressed through regular NeighbourhoodAction Team (NAT) meetings.Recommendation(s):1To note the progress on Ward priorities and other supporting information including the issuesbeing addressed by each Neighbourhood Action Team;2To note the progress made against existing Councillor pledges.1REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS1.1 Each ward manages a set of priorities and key issues through regular meetings of itsNeighbourhood Action Team (NAT). These meetings are led by NeighbourhoodDevelopment Officers (NDOs) and supported by core partners including Nottingham

City Homes (NCH), Neighbourhood Policing, Community Protection, Early Help, CityServices / Waste Management; Fire and Rescue Services and Health.1.2 Ward Councillors are invited to participate in these meetings.1.3 Ward priorities are identified and informed from a range of sources including Citizens,Councillors, Partners and Officers and current issues will be updated for each areacommittee.1.4 The current Ward report incorporates the wider area priorities previously reported toarea committee, so that in future, there will be only one consistent Ward report(attached as an Appendix) and the Area Priorities Action Plan will be discontinued.Area Committee Chairs will be invited to review this latest report to ensure that itsformat is accessible and there is sufficient consistency across the areas.1.5 The list of events and activities will take account of the work, which all NDOsundertake with partner organisations within their ward, and shows the depth ofactivity in place working alongside neighbourhood management to improve socialcohesion and tackle priorities at a ward and area level.2BACKGROUND (INCLUDING OUTCOMES OF CONSULTATION)2.1 The Arboretum, Dunkirk and Lenton and Radford & Park Wards sit within the Area 4Committee which originally adopted three area based priorities at its first Area Clustermeeting – Jobs and training, Environmental issues including cleansing, fly tipping,noise and open spaces and finally Regeneration and balanced communities includingempty sites, balance of housing (students and family) and HMOs.2.2 These priorities demonstrate a link to the City Council’s current ambitions containedin the latest City Council Plan 2015 - 19. Actions for each priority will be developedand led by appropriate service teams and partnerships.2.3 The area priorities listed in 2.1 sit within wider pieces of work and broader agendas,which are being addressed by multi agency approaches across the City. At a Wardlevel it is important to identify how some of these more complex priorities can beaddressed at a local level, either ward or area, by introducing local solutions. Thiscould, for example, include more targeted use of funding such as Ward Councillorbudgets to support community cohesion initiatives or the use of Area Capital fundingto develop an outdoor gym facility.2.4 The current Ward priorities, which have been reported previously through the areacommittee performance reports, are shown in the separate appendices for eachward. These priorities will be updated for each area committee, taking into accountdiscussions at NAT meetings and various groups and activities involving Councillorsand local residents.2.5 The Ward information is contained in the attached appendices, as follows:Appendix 1 – ArboretumAppendix 2 – Dunkirk and LentonAppendix 3 – Radford and ParkAppendix 4 – Summary of Area 4 Nottingham Crime & Drug Partnership PerformanceReport
