Norwood Action Group: Policies

Norwood Action Group was formally constituted on 11 June 1997 at a public meeting. The purpose of the group, agreed by the meeting and amended at the 1998 annual meeting in July, is as follows:

"to promote the regeneration of West Norwood by creating better living and environmental conditions, business and job opportunities and improving retail, educational and recreation facilities".

For public consumption, we usually shorten this to:
"campaigning for the social, environmental and economic regeneration of West Norwood".

Since we first met informally in Autumn 1996, there has been much discussion of what we would like to see happen in West Norwood. What follows (see Town Centre Report) is an overview of improvements we have put forward since then. It was drawn from decisions and discussion over the past 21 months and approved at meeting of NAG in March 1999.
