Uses case studies to show how a range of neighbourhood management partnerships have worked with service providers such as the police and the local authority to create cleaner, greener and safer communities and thus create areas in which people want to live and work.

This evaluation demonstrates, through a series of real life case studies, how neighbourhood management partnerships have been able to work with services providers to help create cleaner, safer, greener communities. It provides background information about each case study and outlines the issues, the actions and the impacts of each example. 

Approaches adopted in each case study area were designed to address local problems and to improve the neighbourhood. Improved dialogue between local service providers (e.g. the police, fire service, local authority) and the local community aimed to ensure that services were targeted which addressed community concerns. Projects tackled included prostitution, crime, drug dealing, poor quality public spaces, improving home security, and neighbourhood renewal. They involved employing neighbourhood wardens to co-ordinate voluntary activity, developing a Service Charter between service providers and the community, local events to discuss how problems could be resolved and securing funding for additional street cleaning schemes.

Neighbourhoods which are kept cleaner, have pleasant communal spaces and which people feel safe to live in.

People living in local communities.

Funding and resources will depend on the project. However, the 35 neighbourhood management pathfinders have received government funding and employ a neighbourhood manager.
