Beechwood Ballantine Community Housing Association (BBCHA) is a new Registered Social Landlord with an ambition to deliver neighbourhood management across all homes in the neighbourhood. MGA were appointed to support the development of the approach from its early stages.

Working within a limited budget, we were able to support the development of an environment agreement, a children and young people’s audit, plan the development of a full community survey, and, most importantly, develop a Neighbourhood Area Agreement as a ‘blueprint’ for the future.

We were particularly successful in supporting BBCHA gain the real support of Wirral Borough Council for their approach to neighbourhood management. We did this by ensuring the Neighbourhood Area Agreement was developed to link closely with Wirral’s Local Area Agreement demonstrating how neighbourhood delivery would support the borough meet its national targets.
