Neighbourhood Action and Stronger Communities Project
“Working together to improve our neighbourhood”
There are currently four Neighbourhood Action Teams (NATs) in the borough: Earl Shilton, Barwell, Bagworth & Thornton and Hinckley. There are plans to extend this to include an area in Burbage. Neighbourhood Action is supported by Hinckley & Bosworth's Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) and is focused on the priority areas. The NATs have established action plans and are already seeing successes as their targets are being met. A selection of projects that the NATs are supporting include:
• Gentle exercise and sporting facilities
• Sure Start
• Smoking cessation
• Neighbourhood Watch/No Cold Calling Zones
• Home insulation and energy saving
• Local Community Houses
• Local Radio
• Community transport
• Youth shelters
• George Ward Project
• Community Citizens Advice Bureau
• Street Pastors
• Environmental improvement
• Tackling antisocial behaviour
