Mackworth Neighbourhood team

If you would like to get involved in your neighbourhood, you have any ideas on how to improve your local area or have any questions about the ward, you can contact:

Anti-social behaviour and crime

To complain about antisocial behaviour or report a crime, you can contact the Mackworth Safer Neighbourhood Team by:

• telephone: 101

They are committed to making your community a safer and better place to live and work.

Mackworth 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 neighbourhood
• agrees the neighbourhood’s priorities
• decides where delegated Council budgets are to be spent
• monitors performance
• influences decisions that reflect the views of residents
• decides on the neighbourhood’s vision

The board has a budget of £10,000 from April 2021. This is so that voluntary and community groups (non-commercial) can apply for funding to support projects and events which will benefit the neighbourhood and its residents.

More information on how to apply for funding is on our neighbourhood board devolved funding page.

You can also find out how to become a member of your Neighbourhood Board.

Mackworth Neighbourhood Forum

Neighbourhood forums take place in the ward if there is an issue that needs a meeting.

When a Neighbourhood Forum is required it will be advertised. For further information, please contact Steph Holt at stephanie.holt@derby.gov.uk.

For more information about neighbourhood forums, visit our neighbourhood working page and our neighbourhood forum meetings page.

Ward walkabouts

Ward walkabouts are an initiative to strengthen community spirit and build safer communities. This involves a high profile and visible control including a litter pick, led by groups including:

• Councillors
• Neighbourhoods
• Public Protection Officers
• Derby Homes
• the Police
• local residents

The idea behind this is to get back to traditional community values of local people looking out for each other and identifying any problems raised in the area.
