Bestwood and Basford Area Committee (Area 2)
Nottingham
City Council’s Neighbourhood Management Service works to improve the quality of life for residents by
involving local people in decision making and changing services provided by the Council and its partners
to meet the needs of different areas.
A central part of
this approach
is the Area Committee structure. There are nine Area Committees covering the whole city, each comprising
two or three adjoining wards. The Area Committees enables ward councillors, local residents and stakeholders
to influence what happens in each area, either through direct decision making – such as allocating an
annual capital budget – or being consulted on matters such as schools reorganisation.
The
Bestwood and Basford Area Committee is made up of the two electoral wards of Bestwood and Basford. Both
wards have three councillors each

What do Area Committees do?
- Work with communities to identify issues and needs
- Develop
actions that address the most important issues through partnerships
with service providers and agencies
- Scrutinise local services and
make sure they are accountable to local people
All
Area Committees also produce a Local Community Plan based on consultation with their community, service
providers and partner agencies. In order to progress these actions Area Committees lead on a range of
projects, such as: activities for older people; litter and graffiti removal; improvements to street
lighting; events to promote health and volunteering, to name a few.
