Welcome to the Barrowcliff 'Our Bigger Story' website. This is part of the multi media evaluation of 15 Big Local areas in England. The website is an opportunity to follow what is changing in Barrowcliff as a result of Big Local over a ten year period.
The aim of the website is to share the learning from everything that is happening in Barrowcliff with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.
As part of the Civic Pride theme, Barrowcliff Big Local Partnership has developed a project to tackle fly-tipping and to help keep the local community clean and tidy. The BIG Recycling Scheme enables local residents to get rid of their unwanted bulky items and electrical goods in a responsible way and at a huge discount for a limited time throughout summer. Big Local has partnered with the local authority and RB Recycling Ltd. to offer this unique service to Big Local residents. Big Local has allocated funding to the scheme, allowing residents a 50% discount on all bookings. The project will be closely monitored to assess the impact and, if successful, could possibly be repeated.
