NPs - taking partnership working forward

Neighbourhood Partnerships (NPs) monitor their progress individually every year through their local community plans.

NP activities bring improvements to local area and communities, and are based on the issues that local people have idenitified as priorities for the area.

Tracking our progress

Each of the 12 Neighbourhood Partnerships (NPs) across the city develop Local Community Plans, and then work together to deliver these. At the heart of all the Local Community Plans are priorities identified by local people.

Each NP is different and a wide range of activities are developed which best suit the issues or local concerns of each particular area. It is likely that many of these will contribute ]to efforts to tackle deprivation at a local level.

It is therefore important that we can measure progress towards the priorities of the Local Community Plans (which contribute to city wide outcomes) and the changes the NPs bring to the quality of life in each area.

The progress of all NPs is measured across 5 main themes:

  • Early Intervention
  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Employability
  • Safer Communities
  • Environment

The Neighbourhood Partnership Performance Booklet summarises performance across all 12 Neighbourhood Partnerships.

Previous progress reports

An Annual Update was produced in 2008, to highlight examples of early operational successes and action from NPs across the city. This followed a review of Neighbourhood Partnerships, and a report  Review of Neighbourhood Partnerships considered by the City of Edinburgh Council in October 2008.

In 2009, a conference was held for 185 Neighbourhood Partnerships delegates, entitled Going Forward Together. The event highlighted the progress of all partners within Neighbourhood Partnerships to contribute to making positive and active changes in local areas.
