SDNP - A Caring/Sharing Partnership? You decide

SDNP had been 'taken to task' several times due to their reluctance to seriously involve themselves in 'community issues'. Several approaches by an Exeter City Council representative, requesting SDNP's support and a more inclusive attitude in addressing a 'wider variety of community matters' were always rejected. A local Housing Association, the tenants of which were the subject of frequent complaints from SDNP, were also refused any support. SDNP's focus has always been to take control of St.David's Community Centre, purely in the 'interests' of the community, you understand. Both the ECC representative and the Housing Association gave up trying to engage with SDNP

Given the considerable amounts of finance/funding required for the Trust's anticipated refurbishment of the Community Centre it soon became obvious that SDNP needed to implement a radical change in their approach if they were to be successful with any funding applications.
