Carlisle Area Support Team

Skip main menu

The Area Support Team works with Carlisle Local Committee. The Committee comprising of 17 local county councillors manages, a number of county council services locally. These include highways, youth, early years and neighbourhood Development. The reason these services are managed locally is to secure the greatest possible involvement from communities in the planning and improving local delivery. The Area Support team works with local residents, community groups and businesses to influence and improve services and the quality of lives for residents in the Carlisle area.

Involving and Supporting Local People

Neighbourhood Forums
There are 16 Neighbourhood Forums in Carlisle & District that hold meetings bringing local people together to discuss community needs, new projects and to network. The forums also allocate community grants to local community groups to help with their projects. The team are always pleased to hear what you the resident would like to discuss at your neighbourhood forum and will include any topics on the agenda of meetings if possible.   

Supporting Community Groups
Core work of the team includes supporting community groups by: 

  • Helping with projects to improve your local area
  • Advice and grants for local community groups
  • Friendly public meetings (Neighbourhood Forums) covering local issues, ideas and concerns          

Services to Young People
The Carlisle Area Support Staff manages a grants budget for projects aimed at young people aged 8 - 16. Area Engagement Officers are actively involved in supporting and developing local youth projects.   

Other Consultations
Consultations are undertaken through issue-based Neighbourhood Forums focussing on particular issues important to a forum area. 

Area Engagement Officers also carry out consultations via questionnaires on subjects such as young people and improving your forum.
