Coming into effect on 2nd April 2010: the Bristol City Council (BCC) Cabinet decided to adopt a Sustainable Development & Transport Scrutiny Commission recommendation to use an NPN method of involvement developed for the BRT Line 3 proposals as a model of good practice for all major Council schemes.

The Cabinet further decided that a toolkit for Neighbourhood Partnerships to encourage good community involvement should also be based on the NPN model.

The attached file (see below) sets out the NPN model 11 steps to effective community involvement.

These are based upon the ground rules adopted in the Bristol Statement of Community Involvement 2008 and refined in practice over the last two years.

A copy of the Scrutiny Commission referral form is also attached (see below).
