General

A Neighbourhood Committee is a forum for local citizen participation that allows residents of a neighbourhood to express themselves, propose ideas and work with the local council to improve their living environment.

It serves to:

identify local needs (lighting, roads, safety, etc.),

raise residents' concerns,

propose actions or projects for the neighbourhood,

strengthen the link between citizens and the municipality.

It is a tool for local democracy, often recognised by the municipality, which promotes citizen engagement in decisions that directly affect their environment.
