Introduction
The Government’s policy agenda is heavily focused around decentralisation and localism.
The Big Society is about transferring power from central Government to local communities.
In addition, the Localism Act gives new rights and powers for communities and individuals.
In Derby, Neighbourhood Boards and Forums give local people the opportunity to discuss
local needs and concerns with councillors, police and the fire service.
Infrastructure
Community Centres
Arboretum has no community centres (see appendix 12 for a map of Derby community
centres).
Neighbourhood Forums
Arboretum holds four Neighbourhood Forums per financial year for the city centre, two of
them held at St Peter
’s House and the other two at Shaftsbury Sports Centre.
There are also four Neighbourhood Forums for the ward outside of the city centre and all
four of these are held at St. Chad’s School.
Voluntary Groups
At the end of June 2012 the Community Action Derby database had 707 voluntary
organisations in their database who stated they operated within Derby and its wards. Of
those, 42 operate solely for residents in and around Arboretum ward providing a wide variety
of services
.
Less Household
Carbon Emissions
Since August 2011 the Council has been working with Apex Carbon Solutions Ltd on the
Warmstreets for Derby Scheme which offers private householders and private tenants free
or discounted loft and cavity wall insulation. The Scheme is funded through the Fuel
Suppliers’ Carbon Emissions Reduction Target obligation and is scheduled to run until the
end of 2012.
Derby Homes, mainly through its fuel supplier/generator funded Community Energy Saving
Programme, has installed in Derby (up to the end of December 2011):
257 solid wall insulations (internal drylining)
76 cavity wall insulations
1,207 loft insulations
792 new central heating systems.

From October 2012 the Council will be aiming to work in partnership to promote the
Government’s new Green Deal
and Energy Company Obligation initiative. The Green Deal
will allow consumers and businesses to make energy efficiency improvements to their
properties without upfront costs. The Energy Company Obligation underpins the delivery of
the Green Deal and replaces the existing Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) and
the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP).
Derby Plan
More People Volunteering
This will be measured via the Derby Plan Survey. Confidence levels however will not be very
high for ward level information but figures will provide an indication
of the feeling in
Arboretum. The results for this should be available shortly and will be included in the next
update of the profiles.
According to the Derby CSP 2008 Survey a lower rate of Arboretum residents had given
unpaid help to groups, clubs or organisations when compared to the city figure.

the past 12 months compared to the city.

More People Influencing Local Decisions
This will be measured via the Derby Plan Survey. Confidence levels however will not be very
high for ward level information but figures will provide an indication of the feeling in
Arboretum. The results for this should be available shortly and will be included in the next
