Spondon Neighbourhood Board
Your local Neighbourhood Board is made up of local councillors, residents and representatives from community organisations and public services.
The board:
- leads on behalf of the whole neighbourhood
- agrees the priorities for the neighbourhood
- decides where delegated Council budgets are to be spent
- monitors performance
- influences decisions that reflect the views of local residents
- decides on the vision for your neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood Board received a budget from April 2021. This budget is to enable voluntary and community groups (non-commercial) to apply for funding for projects/events, that will both benefit and enable the community and its residents. If you would be interested in putting together a funding application for consideration of the board, please read the guidance and complete the form:
- Board Funding Application 2020/21Board Funding Application 2021/22
- Neighbourhood board devolved budget funding guidance

Ward walkabouts
Ward walkabouts is an initiative to strengthen community spirit and build safer communities. This involves Councillors, Neighbourhoods, Public Protection Officers, Derby Homes and the Police, together with local residents leading a high profile and visible patrol including a litter pick. The idea behind this is to get back to traditional community values of local people looking out for each other and identifying any problems raised in the area.
The next dates for the ward walkabouts are:
- 16 March 2022 at 10.30 am; meeting junction of Edmund Road and Arnhem Terrace
