Newton Aycliffe West Improvements
Working collectively with the community and partners we have established a community-led partnership for the estate. Our constant conversation with the estate will expand to explore everything place-based, from homes to the environment and from jobs to financial wellbeing.
What's happening on the estate?
Our local offers
We listened, We acted
We worked with you to help us shape four pledges. These pledges are known as local offers and we have been working collectively to achieve these going forward.
Community engagement
We can only make plans for further improvements with your help.
We are working to develop new ways of doing this. If you would like to speak to us and you haven't been able to, let us know and together we find the best way to do this.
