Community Regeneration Network (CRN)

On the 23rd November 2006 the first meeting of the Community Regeneration Network was held at the Towns House. The CRN  enhances the work of the individual neighbourhood networks by bringing together community representatives from all of the regeneration areas.  At the first meeting community reps had the opportunity to introduce themselves to the group and give a short briefing on the work that has been done in their neighbourhoods through the Community Regeneration Funding.  The network will be fundamental to community involvement in the future and to opening discussions on issues prevalent in all of the regeneration neighbourhoods.

The Community Regeneration Network was set up in November 2006 - the network consists of community representatives from the following regeneration areas:

Cummings Park 

Seaton

Northfield

Torry

Middlefield 

Woodside

Tillydrone  

-

The CR Network will enhance the work of the individual neighbourhood networks by giving a holistic view of community representative from all Aberdeen’s regeneration neighbourhoods.                       

The group meets monthly and has a membership of 30.  Sub groups are also formed to take forward relevant issues which will be presented at  main meetings.  The present Training Sub Group is organising a residential event in May which will have workshops covering CRF funding, how community reps can be more involved in monitoring and evaluating CRF projects/activities in their areas and more in-depth discussion regarding masterplanning of the regeneration area.

The Networks strength is the sharing of ideas, good practice and being able to call in relevant service providers/agencies to answer questions to issues that are prevalent in all the regeneration neighbourhoods.  

If you would like any further information on the Network group please contact, Anne Knight, CRF Development Officer on (01224) 522861 or e-mail aknight@aberdeencity.gov.uk

newA report entitled Closing the Gap - Community Engagement in Regeneration was considered at Aberdeen City Council Policy & Strategy Committee on the 4th March 2008.

Summary of Report - This report contributes to the further development of the city regeneration strategy and describes community engagement in community planning and regeneration in the seven priority regeneration areas. The report gives the background and context for community engagement; sets out what we know about current practice and makes recommendations for improving practice to involve and empower the regeneration communities. It calls for a high standard of preparation and execution of community engagement in community regeneration.

The following recommendations were approved by the Committee.

1. Each Corporate Director for Neighbourhood Services to report to their Area Committee with an implementation plan for 2008/09.
2. The Director of Strategic Leadership to:
(i) ensure the proposed Neighbourhood Regeneration Delivery teams include in their remit responsibility to prepare and implement a community engagement plan for each priority area.
(ii) Assess in liaison with the Public Affairs Officer, opportunities for participation in the Scottish Government’s proposed Community Empowerment Programme.
3. The Director of Continuous Improvement to ensure a communications strategy, including a Resident’s Charter is prepared in consultation with community representatives and relevant officers.
