  2. Local Integrated Services • Will help to improve the lives of people in Norbiton people: • Develop a community voice and involve Norbiton community members in decisions about priority setting and resources • Pool money and resources together to form a single pot for community members to influence or control • Increase partnership working between agencies and with community members

  3. National launch of the Neighbourhood Community Budget pilots in London 2nd February 2012 From Kingston – Jill Preston, Hilary Garner, Tony Willis, Dean Tyler “There should be no limit but your own imaginations, no ceiling but your own ambitions. Bring in the whole community in deciding its future. Make your local public services work how you want. Plan for the future that you want for your neighbourhood. Where you lead, others can follow. So go far and go fast.” Eric Pickles

  4. Kingston is the only area in the country to be involved in both the Neighbourhood Community Budget and Local Integrated Services pilots ….. Why?

  5. Challenges • Officers – working within a new genuinely bottom up context • Government – extent Whitehall are able to ‘let go’ of central budgets Community – managing expectations, pace of project, no budget, ensuring representation Political – defining Councillors role as community leaders; providing clarity on what we are seeking to empower the community to develop Partners – providing capacity at right level to engage with project

  6. What next … • By April 2013 the objective is to develop a Plan and Neighbourhood Community Budget ready for implementation • So we use the year to tackle the challenges and ask ‘why can’t we…?’ • We have support in Government especially Cabinet Office and CLG • … and from our partners

  7. One Kingston – what our partners say

  8. Not another sub-group!

  9. One Norbiton One Slide Aspirations… “To improve the lives of communities in Norbiton by giving them more control and influence over the priorities and resources set for their area” “To raise awareness across all residents and communities so that all have the opportunity to be informed and involved at the level of their choosing” • … will be achieved by… • Testing the concept and co-designing a radical proposal for local service redesign • Aligning the objectives of two pilots: Neighbourhood Community Budgets and Local Integrated Services; • Mapping and pooling partner budgets in line with community priorities to take our activity to the next level in terms of devolving more power and influence to the local level. • Challenges • Managing community and Member expectations (outcomes; pace of project; no budget) • Ongoing capacity of partners to deliver • Willingness to engage at all levels • Willingness of budget holders at all levels to let go of  their budgets and devolve spending decisions to neighbourhood level
