Below are all the previous versions of our neighbourhood plans. The list is headed by a Draft of the 2017 plan that has not yet been approved by the CWG<\/em>. Please discuss it on the Forum. Big issues like the CRE regeneration have not been addressed specifically. But the hope is that, after revision, it can be formally adopted at an AGM. <\/p>\n

ONE NORBITON
\nDRAFT COMMUNITY PLANS
\nJune 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Objectives
\n\u201cTo improve the democratic involvement, health and quality of life of those who live, work and study in Norbiton ward and surrounding areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 We will never have any party political, commercial, or religious affiliations.<\/p>\n

Suggested on-going measures of our success and how we will source them<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reduction in local public service costs (Council)
\n\u2022 Decrease local crime rates (Police)
\n\u2022 Improved local educational attainment (Schools)
\n\u2022 Reduction in local benefit claims (Local JC plus Statistics)
\n\u2022 Reduced local family breakdown (Courts)
\n\u2022 Increased population stability (Housing surveys)
\n\u2022 Improvement in local health measures (NHS)
\n\u2022 Improvement in local quality of life (Serial measures from randomly selected panel. Ourselves)
\n\u2022 Reduced loneliness Debt etc. (Serial measures from randomly selected panel. Ourselves)
\n\u2022 Democratic involvement (Ourselves E-Democracy)<\/p>\n

PLANNING<\/p>\n

Every year we will try to agree specific annual targets<\/em>. This will fit in with our ten-year plan. Both of these will be voted on at our Annual meeting to which all our constituents are invited. The Community Forum may revise them both during the course of the year. Specific projects must have at least an outline business plan stating:<\/p>\n

WHY \u2013 it is being done and where it fit in to our local Community plan<\/p>\n

WHO- is leading and who will be involved<\/p>\n

WHERE- it will be done<\/p>\n

WHEN – it will start, finish and be reported on<\/p>\n

HOW- it will it be done and how outcome will be measured<\/p>\n

WHAT- difference it is hoped it will make.<\/p>\n

How One Norbiton will collaborate with local Partners<\/p>\n

AGREE A PROPER COMPACT AS AN EQUAL PARTNER THEN UNDERTAKE\u2026
\nJoint Policy making and joint annual manifesto
\nJoint Blog debate over content and priority
\nDetermine what would be a convincing public voice for them to change policy?<\/p>\n

How will we respond if our public servants only pay us lip service?
\nIn the interests of ongoing collaboration in general this must be a graduated response
\nA) Escalate requests up their line management command (Acquire allies upstairs)
\nB) Appeal to arbitration (?Financial ombudsman)over the compact made with budget holders
\nC) Undertake our own Blogs and E-Democracy
\nD) Approach the local Media for support<\/p>\n

Our Notional Community Budget<\/p>\n

The LGIU has reported (2013) that at least \u00a3104 million is spent on the 10,000 people living in Norbiton ward. i.e. about \u00a31,000 per person. (Of interest was the observation that although Norbiton is by far the poorest and sickest part of this very rich borough there is virtually no difference in the distribution of resources).
\nHowever at this stage we do not feel able to manage such a sum. However we do need to influence the discretionary spending of our public servants particularly in the furtherance of this plan. We also require a modest budget derived from LIS and other existing charitable funding sources for our own administration and projects. The negotiation of amount, timing and audit of these monies should be commenced this year, perhaps on a project- by- project basis.<\/p>\n

APPENDIX 1
\nPROGRESS BY THE END OF THE PILOT PERIOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shortly after we were formed as a Community Working Party of Volunteers by ECET in RBK we appointed area Sub-groups. RBK officers Tony Willis, Denise Parry and Carlos Queremel have supported these. The latter have been under the overall leadership first of Martha Early and then of Dean Tyler.
\nThese sub-groups have so far been very successful.<\/p>\n

A) The group led by former mayor Ed Naylor has formulated a comprehensive plan for the future employment of local and Kingston-wide NEETs. They have united and introduced disparate groups all working in this area. They have also coordinated an outreach service with the Credit Union Surrey Save to address debt problems on the Estates.<\/p>\n

B) The Group led by former Councilor Sheila Griffin has recruited a large number to local Neighborhood watch Plus schemes and set the wheels in motion to reintroduce Community Rangers. Like Ed\u2019s group it has also managed to united two Police liaison groups. Indeed both of theses subgroups may have revealed an important role for localism in rationalizing how disparate local agencies might meet an collaborate under the One Norbiton umbrella.<\/p>\n

C) The Group led by the Reverend Peter Holmes has formulated a comprehensive community plan for housing including help for the homeless and has engaged in combatting local developments that threaten to increase urban stress.<\/p>\n

D) The group led by civil servant Davinder Lall has successfully approached all Norbiton addresses organized two open public meetings at which our activities and our officers were unanimously approved. There is an ongoing collection of random sample of the ward to measure local views, quality of life and confidential information. John Hall a member of this group has set up our website and is forming an E-Democracy group.<\/p>\n

E) The Group led by Jill Preston has set up a Community First panel which is enabling us to get some funding for our administration., banking insurance etc.<\/p>\n

Other achievements: We have now established the One Norbiton Company with a Board of directors and proper regulation. We have set a One Norbiton Task Force, which is getting help from Job Centre Plus to recruit local teenagers, and others to do specific tasks like distribute leaflets about our services and us. Set up much needed signage in Cambridge Gardens Estate fence repair etc.<\/p>\n

The Future structure this is being addressed at an internal Planning meeting on 18th June<\/p>\n
