Local priorities

The ward partnership brings together local people, community groups, organisations, and councillors to take action on what’s important to their area.

We have identified priorities that we are working on over the coming months:

  • improvements to play area and play opportunities
  • suitable spaces for young people to meet and youth opportunities
  • strengthening local assets
  • access to health information and advice

Current projects

The ward partnership has been developing links with The Big Local and have supported their health and wellbeing community days. They are looking to develop more places to use the Love Exploring app which helps to motivate people to get outside and be more active.
