Working with Local People

Listening to you
The results of the neighbourhood survey completed by local people have helped plan activity that aims to make the lives of those living in South Reading even better. The team is always keen to work with local people to find out what those living in the area want improved or changed, so please get in touch.

Join a Community Group
The teams meet with local service providers every 2 months and local people are encouraged to get involved. There are also a community group’s local people run which support local change and people are welcome to join. If you are interested in joining a group already set up or starting your own community group please call your local team who can help get you started.
