Partnership Board are investing a lot of time and energy on developing the succession arrangements for New Deal. The essence of our plans so far are that we will have a new company to manage NDC buildings to generate funds for local community benefit and a neighbourhood partnership that will agree how to invest those funds.
Guidance on what sort of company will be acceptable to Government is expected on 4 December and whilst we await that information we’ve already made some headway on talking about ideas for the future and seeking legal and financial advice on possible options.
To make sure that we’ve tested all options Partnership Board will be visiting the Hull NDC, who are a year ahead of Burngreave, to see what approach they’ve taken to managing the end of the NDC programme.
Later in the month a group of residents and Board Members will be checking out Shoreditch to see how they’re handling the same situation.
Then, over the next couple of months BNDfC will be working with BCAF and the Area Panel to gather your views on what you think will be right for Burngreave.
