re:new Thatto Heath
re:new Thatto Heath is a Neighbourhood Management project run by St Helens Council and social housing provider Helena Partnerships. It was set up in 2008 to make the Thatto Heath area of St Helens a better place for people to live, work and be part of.
re:new Thatto Heath brings together local residents and local service providers (health, education, police, housing) on a Partnership Board. The board meets every few months and takes joint decisions on how to improve the neighbourhood.
Day to day responsibility for the re:new Thatto Heath area lies with the neighbourhood management team made up of Helena Partnerships staff.
By working together, the partnership project aims to tackle the issues which matter most to local people.
The re:new Thatto Heath area covers about 2,600 homes (many owned and managed by Helena Partnerships) and 5,600 people. It’s a diverse place with a busy retail centre along Thatto Heath Road, a Sure Start Children’s Centre, a community centre, a newly built rugby club, two doctors’ surgeries, a library and a number of local churches.
re:new Thatto Heath will work to tackle a range of issues including: crime and community safety, health, the local environment, education, employment and the local economy.
A launch event was held in November giving the neighbourhood management team a chance to meet local residents and listen to their concerns.
Future initiatives will include skip days where people have the chance to get rid of household and garden waste, bulb planting, graffiti removal, and projects with young people to divert them from crime and anti-social behaviour.
re: new Thatto Heath is currently looking for residents to sit on the Partnership Board. The first meeting will be held in March 2009.
