Creating Community A new NHT Scheme is an opportunity for you and your neighbours to create a vibrant, well-kept and safe community. Set the stage for success early by meeting with your neighbours to establish community groups, chief of which should be your citizens’ association. Under the leadership of the association’s executive body, you and your neighbours should determine your goals and vision for your community and the means to achieve them. Your goals may include: •
developing a neighbourhood watch
•
upkeep of common spaces
•
building a community centre
•
developing areas for sports and play
•
providing critical training, for example, in leadership and community safety
•
fundraising
