The Area Panel work closely with Area Managers and Heads of Services to discuss these issues and even job shadow members of staff to try and improve the service East North East homes are delivering in Outer East Leeds.
The Area Panel have funding available for environmental / community improvements to Seacroft, Cross Gates, Halton Moor and Osmondthorpe (Wykebecks / Nevilles).
The funding can be used for improvements to an area which will be of benefit to the community through Estate Investment bids. The Partnership Development Officer will consult with the affected residents and work with closely with various agencies to ensure the work will have a positive effect on the area.
Completed schemes are then presented to the Area Panel for approval, rejection or referral (subject to further development).
