• Co-ordinate work to achieve joined-up services.

Area Co-ordination is not:

• An optional extra

• A pot of gold.

• Something done in offices away from the Council House.

• A project that will come to an end in a few years time.

• A new service department.

Area Co-ordination is:

• A partnership that is helping public, private and voluntary services in Coventry to involve local people in delivering better more joined up services.

• A process that we lead in the High Priority neighbourhoods and support others in working this way in the more affluent areas.

• About helping to address the needs of citizens who don't easily get heard, to improve environments, reduce crime, improve health , create jobs and improve access to education and training.

Area Co-ordination is:

• About Best Value and making services more accessible and relevant to those who often do not have a say in how we provide services.

• About working together to get things done.

• About helping to involve citizens in planning and delivering new services and initiatives.

• About helping to attract regeneration money.

Area Co-ordination is:

• Fundamentally about changing the way that decisions about resources are allocated and programmes and services delivered to the community and in neighbourhoods. 

• Most important - involving local people who know those neighbourhoods, know what is happening in their area and how services need to be shaped to meet needs.
