contribute to the goals, particularly those who had been working in
difficult circumstances?

decision-making and governing to make sure we are making
progress?

Heart of the City
- What do we need to do
to make it feel like a community?
- Important to get the
right facilities, eg public toilets,
health care facilities
- It is a mixed
community, so important to think about affordable and social
housing, and decent sized homes, sustainable housing
- Important to consider
homelessness issues
- How to make the area
more appealing, eg providing bins,
controlling graffiti, reducing anti-social behaviour
- Look at funding for
converting empty spaces
