Normanton 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 from April 2021. The 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 2021/22
• Neighbourhood board devolved budget funding guidance

The Neighbourhood Board also has access to another community grant funding pot provided by RRS, Resourse Recovery Solutions. If you are interested in making a funding application, then please complete the RRS Funding Application Form.

Normanton Neighbourhood Forum

If you have an interest in your local area, you can go to one of Normanton Neighbourhood Forum's open public meetings. 

These meetings take place within the Ward only if there is an identified issue that requires a meeting. When a Neighbourhood Forum is required it will be advertised, but for further information please contact Lorraine Dryden, email: lorraine.dryden@derby.gov.uk

Normanton Neighbourhood Forum dates and papers for 2020/22

The Neighbourhood Forum meetings are currently on hold due to the current COVID-19 situation and as soon as it is safe to do so we will arrange the next Neighbourhood Forum Meeting.

Ward walkabouts

This is an initiative to tackle the perception of crime, strengthen community spirit, resolve community issues and litter pick. This involves councillors and local residents leading high profile and visible patrols.

The idea behind this is to get back to traditional community values of local people looking out for each other. Patrols take place in a different part of the community within the Normanton Ward. We walk, talk, greet and listen, dealing with issues we come across while hopefully having some fun at the same time.

The next dates for the ward walkabouts are:
