Message from the Chair
Welcome to the Penn and Merry Hill LNP, my name is Lesley Cook and I have been Chair for 5 years now; working alongside residents, local community groups, local businesses and agencies delivering services to our area. I can say that the Partnership continues to make improvements which I hope that local people can see. More recently, Penn and Merry Hill LNP has agreed it's priorities (see below) and work has started to progress these.
We have also been awarded £10,000 from the extended schools project to fund a family engagement project involving Woodfield School, Star Children’s Centre, Believe to Achieve, Platform 51 and West Midlands Police. The Partnership are now working on activities which will be delivered across the area from March to July.

Your LNP
The Bantock LNP aims to improve the lives of local people by involving them in decisions about how services are delivered locally.
The Local Neighbourhood Partnership brings together local people (both individuals and those representing community and voluntary groups), businesses, service providers and elected ward Councillors to work in partnership to make lasting improvements to the neighbourhood.
The Local Neighbourhood Partnership meets regularly throughout the year to address the LNP priorities and the LNP Board is made up of a representative group of people from this wider Partnership. The Board works with LNP staff and service providers to co-ordinate , oversee and progress work of the LNP.
