Service Delivery: 'You Decide!' 2009
This page is dedicated to updating residents on the delivery of
services purchased at the 2009 You Decide! events. The monitoring
reports will be available here but we will also provide a handy
update halfway through the projects and then as they all come to a
close.
August 2010 Update
Curious to find out what happened with the projects that were
voted for in your local area? Click on the link to the left to find
out more about what happened in your LAP.
If you have any photographs of work that has happened in your
area, please get in touch. We'd love to include them on the
website.
All projects except those bought for 2 years (such as the Drug
Outreach Workers) have completed successfully. Information
regarding the 2 year projects will be included in
2010 Service Delivery so please click for more information.
May 2010 Update
With the services drawn to a close a full report detailing the
delivery over the past 12 months has been produced.
The good news is that of the 93 projects or services voted for
as part of You Decide! only 4 individual LAP projects missed their
targets. These were all the Youth Inclusion Project
(YIP) project; a project which relies for all it's targets on
referrals from specialist agenices.
Apart from that there are some projects that are still going.
The Drug Outreach Workers were appointed for two years as were the
additional Police Officers.
In addition, the Extended Learning and Early GCSE projects will
follow the school year and therefore the results of these projects
won't be known until August.
A few projects are continuing for a few weeks to reach
completion: This included the CCTV cameras and some of
the shrub projects.
Overall, the attached report shows a record of real success;
something we should all be proud of; whether we voted for a
project, shaped it's structure, montiored it's delivery or worked
so hard to deliver it.
You can see the whole report.
October 2009 Update
You Decide! gave more than 800 Tower Hamlets
residents the rare opportunity to choose how to spend £2.4 million
on additional council services to benefit their local area.
Now the voting is over the work has begun to
put the extra projects and services into place.
The council, police and Local Area Partnership
Steering groups – made up of residents and councillors - have been
working together to ensure the services are delivered to meet local
people’s needs.
In September we undertook a thorough review of the first 6
months of each of the projects. You can see the whole report
here:
As you can see all of the projects are either rated as green,
amber or red. Green means that the service is right on track. Amber
means that it is slightly off track but will meet its target by the
end of the year if it continues as it is and red means that the
project needs to be improved or in order to meet it's
targets.
The finance is also rated in the same way with expectation that
100% of the funding will be spent by the 30th March next year. Some
exceptions apply where projects started late and so have been
extended so they can last a full year.
If you have any questions about the report or any of the
services being provided through You Decide! in your local
area please contact the you decide team at youdecide@towerhamlets.gov.uk
or 020 7364 4572
All of these services are being monitored
by your LAP Steering Group. For more information on your local LAP
Steering Group click here.
