Arboretum Neighbourhood Board

Your local Neighbourhood Board is made up of local councillors, residents and representatives from community organisations and public services.

The board:

• leads on behalf of the whole neighbourhood
• agrees the priorities for the neighbourhood
• decides where delegated Council budgets are to be spent
• monitors performance
• influences decisions that reflect the views of local residents
• decides on the vision for your neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood Board received a budget in April 2020. This budget is to enable voluntary and community groups (Non Commercial) to apply for funding for projects/events, that will both benefit and enable the community and its residents. If you would be interested in putting together a funding application for consideration of the board, ‌please read the guidance and complete the form:

• Board Funding Application 2022/23
• Neighbourhood board devolved budget funding guidance
