Comeunity
Comeunity is the Neighbourhood Management Programme for South and Central Yarmouth. Neighbourhood Management is a way of improving services in order to raise the quality of life of people living in deprived neighbourhoods. The programme involves working with communities and local service providers - like the council, police, education, health and environmental services. Residents are at the centre of decision-making, ensuring that solutions are owned locally, rather than being imposed. Increasingly, neighbourhood management is seen as one of the best ways to improve neighbourhoods.
Comeunity is not a capital funding programme. It is about setting up processes which ensure that services improve to meet the needs of local residents.
We are based at the Neighbourhood Centre at 143 King Street.
