The Area Board is made up of elected members, local residents
and members of the East Housing and Regeneration Team. The board's
job is to decide on where improvements to the neighourhood are most
needed and allocate the budget accordingly. Local people told
the board that improvemnts to communal drying areas, play areas and
fencing, are important, so many of these have been upgraded or
renewed this year. An example of improvements to fencing in
Marionville Road can be seen here.
Nominations for projects are eligible if they are on land or
assets held by services for Communities ((SfC)
