NMP in Easington Colliery and Horden Over the next 7 years it is planned that the 2 villages of Easington Colliery and Horden (3 wards in total) will take part in an experimental approach to regeneration.  A Government approved partnership has formed and has been designated as 1 of only 20 Neighbourhood Management Pathfinders nationwide. The aim is to bring 'joined-up' services to the area by focusing on better co-ordination and value for money.  Unlike traditional regeneration initiatives the Pathfinder's funds are aimed at service improvement, enhancement and gap filling.  This approach to helping the community to help itself is known as 'bending the spend.'  Through the Pathfinder's excellent working relationship with local schools, an eye-catching new logo has been designed by a pupil of Easington Colliery Primary and will shortly be used throughout the area to promote Neighbourhood Management activities of all kinds! www.easington.gov.uk /services/regenpart/nrenewal/nmanagement.asp   (231 words)
