Welcome to The Northwood Community Partnership information pages.
Every person who lives within the Electoral Division or has an
interest in Northwood has the right to seek election onto, and can vote for our
committee every June, at our Annual General Meeting. All of our meetings are
open to all residents, and are advertised on the notice board, adjacent to the
Horseshoe Car Park.
Your Committee comprises of 18 members, this includes 3
Ex-Officio members (The Headteacher of Northwood School, the local vicar and the
local beat police officer) together with Roger Mazillius as Local Councillor,
who serves also as a local resident. Our membership includes representatives of
most local groups, and sectors of the Village community. Consistently we have
more requests to join us than we had vacancies for. Obviously, don’t let that
put you off if you wish to join in putting something back in to your community.
Although we have received no complaints (I hope!!) regarding our transparency
and accountability to local residents, in some parts of the Island questions
have been asked on how effective Community Partnerships are. Are you happy with
the service you get from us, or is there anything that we should be doing that
we are not? Traditionally Town and Parish Councils have a statutory right to be
open and accountable, and within our Partnership we have tried our level best to
mirror this as a matter of course.
