Several priorities have been identified within the East Cleveland Villages Big Local Plan for investing the £1m lottery funding allocated to the ECV partnership.
During a ten year period we will work in cooperation with partner organisations; housing associations, local councils, and community groups etc. to enable significant improvements to be made throughout the East Cleveland Village community.
ACTION AREAS
EnvironmentEmpty buildings and shops are being identified for potential redevelopment and regeneration, whilst providing opportunities for work and training in providing needed accommodation and a return on the investment which should sustain the programme and increase the money available for further investment.
Transport
The community transport network in East Cleveland is to be supported by funding mini-bus groups to supplement local services.
Already the partnership has purchased a minibus from a surgery who no longer wished to retain it as they move from Trust status to being a Commissioning Group.
This has been placed at Skinningrove Link Up to serve all of East Cleveland. It will be managed by the East Cleveland Transport Brokerage. The vehicle can accommodate wheelchairs. It is hoped that a volunteer driver from each village will undergo ‘Midas’ training to increase the availability to the communities.
Local ShoppingCo-operative or enterprise schemes are to be encouraged to provide retail outlets for goods and services to all communities.
Several of the smaller villages have no longer got retail outlets so the possibility of a mobile shop will be explored.
The larger settlements have experienced a decline in goods and services. Empty commercial properties need revitalising by working with other organisations to consolidate our shopping areas.
Community CohesionCommunity cohesion can only be achieved by engaging residents in the provision of increased activity in their villages.
An interchange of group activities among the villages could be used to provide a catalyst for inter-generational and inter-community activities and more sustainable use of these buildings every day, including weekends when people are at leisure.
Key to this is utilising the available assets, namely community centres or village halls and the increased and varied use of existing groups to strengthen communities.
Tourism The East Cleveland Village Partnership feels the area should be promoted as a tourist destination through actively raising awareness of accommodation, heritage, events and facilities.
There are already some 4 star hotels in the area and many holiday cottages to rent. Bed and breakfast is available in several of the villages and there are sites for touring caravans.
There are many activities which could be promoted to encourage increased use of existing facilities eg walking on The Cleveland Way, playing golf, using the National Cycle Routes that cross East Cleveland, visiting our museums, conservation areas and promoting our history.
Employment and IndustryTake opportunities to improve business enterprise and job prospects.
Encourage industrial estates to promote inward investment to East Cleveland.
Skills and TrainingIdentify the needs of groups, businesses and individuals and encourage the availability of training in the existing East Cleveland centres.
Health & Wellbeing
Achieved by co-operation with providers of local services, councils, police, health and housing groups, and especially the Neighbourhood Action Partnerships.
Safe & Secure Neighbourhoods
Promoting a healthy lifestyle and providing opportunities for increased wellbeing to all age groups.
