Have your say
Greater Carlton (including Carlton Hill, Netherfield, Gedling, Colwick, Burton Joyce, Stoke Bardolph, Mapperley and Mapperley Top shops and surrounding open spaces) is part of the government’s national ‘Long Term Plan for Towns’ programme. The government has allocated £20m to Greater Carlton, to invest in local people’s priorities, over the next ten years.
The funding can be used for improving our high streets, dealing with antisocial behaviour through to creating new footpaths and cycle routes.
The fund is 75% Capital (for example improvements to shopping areas, parks or upgrades to buildings/community facilities etc.) 25% is revenue which pays for services, people and running costs, this can be for voluntary groups and for increasing police/council resources.
Allocation and spend of the funding are being overseen by the Greater Carlton Town Board which is run by local people. The board is supported by the Council which will hold the finances. You can read more about the Greater Carlton Town Board here.
People who live, work, learn or visit the Greater Carlton area are urged to take a few minutes to tell us how they think the money would be best spent. We have started to consider ideas, but the community know the area best.
Your input will directly influence decision making and the survey only takes a few minutes.
The consultation will start on 15th July and feedback is requested by 30th August.
The Greater Carlton Town Board will review the feedback in detail to decide which projects to prioritise and include in the plan. The community will continue to be involved over the next 10 years.
