Hello neighbours, welcome to our autumn newsletter
We are Northfleet Big Local, and we are sure many of you are aware of what we are achieving in the area.
Big Local is a resident led project. It is an exciting opportunity for residents in areas around England to use at least £1m each to make a massive and lasting positive difference to their communities. Big Local brings together all the local talent, ambitions, skills and energy from individuals, groups and organisations who want to make their area an even better place to live.
It’s NOT about local authorities, the government or a national organisation telling people what to do. It’s NOT about individual groups fixing their favourite problem without talking to a wide range of different people who live, socialise and work in the community. Its NOT about short – term thinking. Big Local areas have 10 years or more to plan and deliver the best options for their area.
Our work is planned and run by a partnership, most of whom are people who live or work in the area. The partnership develop and agree a plan for how we spend our funds. In the last year we have created ‘Northfleet Central’, a community space for you, the community to have a say in what goes on!
We welcome residents to become involved in our partnership, if you have time to spare and care about our community then please contact
We need local people to help shape the future of Northfleet.
