Decision details

The Corporate Director (Neighbourhoods) reported progress against the key actions and performance indicators.

38 families who had been involved with the Families First project so far, with 25 active families currently.  The route to the project was primarily Registered Social Landlords because of antisocial behaviour in children, drug and alcohol misuse, parenting / educational issues and financial issues. 

At the Withnell Fold Memorial garden project Groundwork had successfully applied to the Chorley Partnership for a grant of £2,300 and the Council contributed a further £700.  In addition to providing the plants for the volunteer day the Groundwork Green Team undertook some work in the garden to repair damaged footpaths, improve drainage and landscape features.  Hillside Methodist Youth Club volunteers also worked with Withnell Fold Residents Association on the planting up of the garden for autumn and there were over 20 volunteers involved.
