Governance

The work of the Greater Dogsthorpe Partnership is overseen by the GDP Board which is made up of local residents, local ward councillors, and other organisations working in the community. The GDP Board is governed by the use of a Constitution. 

The work is being delivered by a small team of staff, and our aim is to bring about significant change for the better throughout Greater Dogsthorpe. We are achieving this by introducing something called Neighbourhood Management in your area. Neighbourhood management has been running for several years in other parts of the country with some very positive results.
