City Centre South Steering Group
The City Centre South Steering Group was set up in 2007 and is an unincorporated community body comprising of those who live and/or work in the City Centre South Area of Major Intervention.
Meetings are also attended by local agencies involved in the delivery of the Renew programme in the City Centre South such as Sanctuary Housing Housing, Renew North Staffordshire, as well as staff from Neighbourhood Renewal Team.
The aims of the group are to ensure that:
- local communities and residents in the City Centre South area are aware and engaged in the process of planning and successful delivery of the Renew programme
- community interests are represented in regeneration programmes
- local residents are informed about the work of the steering group
Achievements so far:
- input into the Area Regeneration Framework workshop sessions
- the development of the 'Revive' Newsletter, to give up-to-date news of regeneration activity across the Area of Major Intervention
- participation in a range of events in order to boost awareness of the group’s activities
Future activities:
Funding from Renew North Staffordshire is currently being used to provide training to group members on a range of topics, including masterplanning, community cohesion, and how the steering group can work more effectively.
Members will attend a training session run by the Citizens Advice Bureau in order to increase understanding of the Compulsory Purchase Order process.
The group will continue to publish the Revive newsletter to inform the wider community on the work of the group and regeneration activity in City Centre South. You can request a copy of it from the Neighbourhood Workers at either Community Centre.
