Working Together in Colburn - A Neighbourhood Pilot Project
- The LSP wants to get better at partnership working and particularly how its works in neighbourhoods.
- We want to understand if we can make more improvements if we work together in a different way.
- We want to understand how we can get communities more involved in neighbourhood working
- We want to pilot an area having a Local Community Action Plan (LCAP)
- This is a pilot – if it works well the LSP will want to do something similar in other areas.

We have chosen Colburn for our pilot. Why?
- It’s a vibrant community
- There’s a good history of people working together
- There are already some good examples of the community doing things for themselves.
- We want to understand what already works well in Colburn
- We expect that some of the issues we come across we will also find in other parts of the district and we want to learn what works and what doesn’t
Coming Soon...
The Colburn Neighboruhood Project is due to be re-launched in June 2010. A workshop will be held and is an open invitation to partners and members of the community who would like to be more involved in the newly formed Colburn Task Groups which are based on Colburns five prioirties. Each Task Group is made up of relevant partners who will work collectively to deliver the Local Community Action Plan. For more information, please contact Chloe Lewis on 01748 829100
Colburn Newsletter
As part of the project update, the Colburn Neighbourhood Working Group decided to create a newsletter containing a vast range of information for residents, from all the after-school activities taking place in Colburn to the Policing Pledge. To see a copy of the January edition click on the link below:
Anti-Social Behaviour Posters
One of the main issues Colburn expressed as a community is the issue of Anti-Social Behaviour, with this is mind the project group wanted to create Posters highlighting the relevant contact information for anyone who is dealing with such issues around their home. The posters give vital contact numbers for anyone wishing to report incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour, to the Community Safety Team or the Police.
What has happened so far?
6th December Project Launch - 7,000 daffodil bulbs planted!
On the 6th December members of the local community met to begin planting 7,000 daffodils. Despite snow and ice 1,000 bulbs were planted and on the 8th December staff from Richmondshire District Council completed the task. Bulbs have been planted on the green spaces adjacent to the Broadway shopping area, Piper Hill, in woodland at the Chase housing estate and in open space adjacent to Albermarle Drive.
Throughout the year, the Neighbourhood Project Team has partcipated in extensive consultation with residents, businesses and employee's, living and working in Colburn. As a result, the 'Local Community Action Plan' was produced, with ownership belonging to Colburn and its residents. The Local Community Action Plan not only highlights the priorities and issues raised during the consultation process, but also presents solutions suggested by residents to these concerns. If you would like to become involved or would like to find out more information about the LCAP, then call 01748 829100
'Colburn Community Action Day' on 12th August, was a great success with many of the issues raised by residents being resolved on the day. Partners such as, Fire and Rescue service, Tenants Panel and the District Council Street Scene installed home safety equipment, fitted new windows, cleaned roads and maintained all open community spaces around the Piper Hill play area. North Yorkshire Police also engaged with members of the community and addressed any areas of concern.
