You can find examples of work we have been doing on the individual site pages.
A series of action plans have been developed for each of the areas within the Slopes which can be accessed from links within each area's page.
Since 2009 we have also worked with other community groups, in trying to influence the City Council and Partners two initiatives which may change our Slopes - The Kingswear/Torpoint/Marksbury Road College and Haldon Close (bottom of Novers) Masterplan/Development; and the
The Knowle West Regeneration Framework.
Being a group of volunteers we have to work closely with other organisations such as Bristol City Council and other voluntary groups; and we depend on the help and support of individuals, especially those who use the Slopes. Increasingly schools and community groups are using the Slopes for their activities.
The NSI meets regularly once a month at:
The Park Local Opportunity Centre
Daventry Road
Knowle
Bristol BS4 1QD
Meetings are the way we listen to people and discuss ideas; and decide on what we can do. Everyone is welcome to attend.
