Free party launches new estate agreement
Posted on Thursday 15 November 2007
All residents of Bell Farm in York are invited to a free Christmas party to
launch the area's new estate agreement.
The party, organised by City of York Council's Neighbourhood Management Unit in conjunction with Bell Farm Residents' Association, is on Thursday 13 December at the social hall on Roche Avenue, from 3.30-6pm.
There will be food, refreshments, face painting (provided by Bell Farm Adventure Playground), nail painting, carol singing, entertainment, information stalls from estate agreement service providers, free goods and lots of Christmas activities for the family.
Everyone who comes along will be entered into a free prize draw to win the top prize of a DVD player!
Bell Farm's estate agreement was the first to be launched in the country and is the longest running. It was launched in 1995 and developed in partnership with Bell Farm Residents' Association and City of York Council as a response to residents’ wishes to protect improvements carried out in the Estate Action Project.
The agreement encourages the residents of Bell Farm to work together with the service providers to maintain a high level of service and a good environment in
which to live.
Service providers who have signed up to the agreement include the council's Neighbourhood Pride services, Trading Standards and Dog Warden service, Housing and Adult Social Services, Care and Support for Children and Families, Learning, Culture and Children's Services, Neighbourhood Management supporting Bell Farm Social Hall and residents' association, Heworth ward committee, York Youth Service, and York Youth Offending team.
Other providers include: Neighbourhood policing, Bell Farm Adventure Playground,
and Future Prospects.
The new agreement was designed and developed in partnership with Bell Farm
Residents' Association. A consultation was sent out to all residents of the
estate asking what they thought should be included.
The event will be attended by Bell Farm residents, Bell Farm Residents' Association, Heworth ward councillors who will be running the kitchen and serving refreshments, as well as senior City of York Council officers.
