Rotherham Council is committed to thriving neighbourhoods, where people can work together to achieve a good quality of life. Each council ward has a dedicated Neighbourhood Coordinator who works closely with councillors, residents, community organisations and partners to improve our neighbourhoods.
Our approach
Communities are at the heart of everything we do. We work with communities to identify and find solutions to local issues by building on the existing strengths and assets in our communities. This helps our residents feel happy, safe and proud.
As part of its core work, our Neighbourhoods Team;
- Supports ward councillors in their community leadership role
- Works with residents, local community organisations and partners to identify ward priorities and agree joint actions
- Enables residents to have a voice, influence decision making and get involved in their local community
- Empowers communities to take greater ownership and do more for themselves
- Supports people from different backgrounds to get on well together
- Builds strong partnerships with local organisations, voluntary groups, and community networks to address ward priorities set by local people
- Coordinates community projects and events that bring people together and make a difference
- Supports council services and partners in engaging effectively with local communities
- Helps residents access the services and support they need
- Works directly with our Parish and Town Councils to make improvements
- Helps improve the Town Centre by bringing together council services, partners, and other key groups to work as one team.
