re:new Town Centre North & Fingerpost
re:new Town Centre North & Fingerpost 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 Town Centre North & Fingerpost areas of St Helens better places for people to live, work and be part of.
re:new Town Centre North & Fingerpost brings together local residents, local councillors and local service providers (health, education, police, housing) on a Partnership Board. The board meets every eight weeks and takes joint decisions on how to improve the neighbourhood. Residents also have the chance to identify hot spots where issues such as crime, vandalism, litter or anti-social behaviour are a particular problem.
Day to day responsibility for the re:new Town Centre North & Fingerpost area lies with the neighbourhood management team made up of Helena Partnerships staff. The management team, which is based on Standish Street, is supported by outreach workers and street reps.
By working together, the partnership project aims to tackle the issues which matter most to local people.
re:new Town Centre North & Fingerpost 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, listen to their concerns, and explain how re:new Town Centre North & Fingerpost will work.
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 Town Centre North & Fingerpost also has funding available to support local residents and groups with projects, initiatives, and events. Please contact the neighbourhood management team for details.
