- Dumpster Day will be Saturday, August 2nd, from 8am to noon. We will need people to help with traffic direction on that morning, If you can do that, please email eastrichmondnc@gmail.com
- Would you like your neighborhood to be friendlier, safer, and more able to respond to emergencies? Here’s one way: set up informal an neighborhood watch and organize annual block parties. Nel Benningshof and Nick Despota will tell you how.
What We Do
The purpose of the East Richmond Neighborhood Council is to provide a forum for neighborhood residents to exchange ideas on community issues and neighborhood problems and to serve as a source of information on topics of interest before our city government and public agencies.
- Our monthly meetings provide forums in which neighbors can state their concerns to elected officials, agency staff, and public safety officers.
- This website posts the agendas and minutes of our meetings. It also offers timely information on events and other news of interest to residents— from announcements of neighborhood clean-ups to advice on forming neighborhood watch groups
- Business owners who want to locate to East Richmond come before the neighborhood council to outline their plans and answer questions from our residents. The council can then make a recommendation to the Planning Department to permit, permit with conditions, or deny the development.
- Similarly, if a homeowner’s remodeling plans may have impacts on neighbors, the Planning Department may ask the homeowner to present the plan to the neighborhood council, which then makes its recommendation.
- Officers of the Neighborhood Council attend monthly meetings of the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council, a citywide organization of neighborhood councils.
There are no membership fees. All residents are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and join those working to improve the place where we live.
