About the NGAG

The Newington Green Action Group (NGAG) is a registered UK charity (1087866)

Main Aims

The regeneration of historic Newington Green through local community effort by restoring it to popular use as a natural focus for the area.

Community Regeneration Projects

Whilst the physical regeneration of the area was completed at the end of 2005, the group, which has around 100 members, is now working to ensure that the improvements are maintained and to encourage new developments that are of benefit to the whole community.

The NGAG Executive Committee usually meets monthly and monitors planning applications and public transport, organises local events (NGAG Friends evening, planting, Jazz on the Green, fairs etc), participates in various steering groups, including the local Neighbourhood Safer Streets Team and the Mildmay Festival Committee, liaises with the Council, links in with other organisations in the area, and comes up with ideas to bring the community together.
