Middleton Township Forums and Groups
The work of the Middleton Township Committee is supported by
forums, groups and sub committees which allow local people to have
a say about issues important to them.
These forums, groups and sub committees include:
Middleton Area Partnership
Middleton Area Partnership (MAP) brings
together representatives from all the local forums and
groups. It is the body which sends a representative to the
Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) – this is the initiative which
brings together agencies such as the Police, businesses, education
providers, health services and voluntary/community sectors to
support partnership working in the Borough.
Middleton Township Planning Sub Committee
Middleton Township Planning Sub Committee makes decisions on
planning applications in accordance with the Council’s approved
Development Control Scheme.
Middleton Township Devolved Funding Sub Committee
Each Township has its own Township Fund. Decisions relating to
the expenditure of this budget are made by the Devolved Funding Sub
Committee. Meetings take place on a quarterly basis.
Middleton Culture Working Party
Middleton Culture Working Party meets six times a year and
exists to enhance, develop and enable community links and pride in
the Middleton area through a variety of cultural activities. Groups
organising events in the Middleton area report to the working party
and seek support and assistance as required from the members,
together with advice on where groups can apply for funding.
Middleton Township Safer Communities Partnership
Middleton Township Safer Communities Partnership meets four
times a year and brings together all the agencies responsible for
reducing crime and making Middleton a safer place to live, work in
and visit. This group also includes seats for three community
representatives.
Middleton Environment Forum
The Environment Forum meets six times a year to provide local
people with the opportunity to come and discuss environmental
issues affecting Middleton with the officers responsible for
dealing with them. This forum links to other existing more
localised environmental groups such as the Langley Environment
Group.
