NEIGHBOURHOOD ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMME (NEP)
The Neighbourhood Environment Programme (NEP) encourages South
Central residents to get involved in making decisions for
environmental improvements and allows them to have an influence on
a mainstream budget.
Through NEP the community is provided with greater local
accountability over environmental spend.
The NEP pulls together the views of local people, which presents
the partnership with a strategic overview of the priorities across
the area.
NEP has two principal strands, namely Roads Capital Improvements
and Housing Revenue Account (HRA) improvements, which can be
influenced by the local community.
ROADS
CAPITAL: NEP Roads Capital projects
are submitted for consideration and decided on a annual basis by a
nominated Selection Committee.
HOUSING REVENUE
ACCOUNT: The HRA element of the NEP programme
can only be used on land which is Council owned and surrounding
mixed tenure properties.
