The Eastwood Deal

The Eastwood Deal is an initiative that identifies and tackles local issues within Eastwood village, and celebrates and builds on the sense of community spirit that exists within the area.

The scheme launched in 2016 with an emphasis on anti-social behaviour, crime and the environment. Working with local community organisations and residents the Council, Police and other partners have been able to take direct action to help improve the safety and appearance of the neighbourhood.. While there remains a focus on tackling anti-social behaviour and responding to environmental concerns, the Eastwood Deal has evolved into a multi-agency approach which tackles a range of locally identified issues such as improving housing, health and wellbeing and employment opportunities, thus increasing the quality of life for all residents.

The Eastwood Deal involves an array of partners working alongside Eastwood residents including public sector organisations such as Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police, as well as community and voluntary groups including Eastwood Village Primary School, Clifton Learning Partnership and Rotherham Ethnic Minority Alliance.
