The Lozells, Birchfield & Handsworth People’s Conference is taking place on Saturday 9th July 2011(10.30am-2.00pm) at Handsworth Campus, City College Birmingham, Soho Road,Birmingham, B21 9DP

 To confirm your attendance, please email rajinder@neighbourhoodconsultancy.co.uk

Why are we doing this?

 In the last few years, many residents and community groups have been actively involved in helping their neighbourhoods become better places to live and work in.

We have achieved a lot together as local communities in improving the profile of our neighbourhoods, however there is still more to be done. Local households are finding themselves affected by increasingly tough times. In our Ward, committed individuals from different agencies have already started to talk about how with fewer resources we can work together better.

 What are we doing?

 You are invited to join many other residents to help shape the future of life in our area over the coming years. In this most significant Conference in years, we will be setting out our key plan to enable us to work better together.

Firstly, we would like to set up 5 independent Neighbourhood Forums covering the entire Ward. They will be residents’ led groups who genuinely work in the interests of everybody within their neighbourhood.

Secondly, we would like to bring people together to discuss Community Safety, Health & WellbeingHousing & EnvironmentEmployment & Business, Children & Young PeopleWomen and Voluntary/Community Groups

What do we want from you?

We want to hear your views and advice on our ideas to transform the Ward to put residents at the heart of everything:

-        Tell us the key issues around where you live or work in the Ward

-        Tell us what you think the solutions may be to solving some of these issues

-        Tell us how we all can do better
