Hartlepool New Deal for Communities Neighbourhood Management
   

Introduction
Community Safety Office   

In April 2005 a ‘Neighbourhood Management Project’ was established in the NDC area to manage, co-ordinate and ensure rapid responses of neighbourhood services (some of which were existing NDC funded projects), it’s primary aim being to keep the NDC area safe and clean for NDC residents. The Neighbourhood Management Project will play a key role in the NDC mainstreaming and succession strategy, particularly in the areas of community safety and environmental services, and it has created and strengthened structures that will enable NDC residents to influence the delivery of services beyond the lifetime of NDC. To assist in this process the structure provides two Neighbourhood Managers one from HBC, and one from NDC who lead a multi-disciplinary staff team co-located at an office in the heart of the NDC area.
