Neighbourhood Action Team Review - 2021 pdf icon PDF 447 KB

Minutes:

 

The Chairman led a discussion on the 2021 review document, seeking the views of members on the operation of Neighbourhood Action Teams (NATs) across North Lincolnshire.  It was noted that the pandemic had inevitably impacted on the work of the Teams, and that different NATS were likely to meet in different manners, going forward.

 

The Chairman noted that, for some neighbouring NATS, there may be common issues which could benefit from closer working, and which would result in reduced commitments from members and other agencies.  A discussion took place on options for recommending a twelve month pilot along those lines.

 

Moved by Cllr D Robinson and seconded by Cllr J Longcake

 

That, arising from the joint panel's considerations and deliberations, the Executive be requested to consider operating a twelve month pilot, whereupon there would be a merger of (i) Ashby and Bottesford NATS, and (ii) Crosby and Park and Town NATS.

 

Motion Carried.
