Neighbourhoods
Knowing our neighbours helps us to feel safer and more connected.
Having good relationships with our neighbours increases our sense of belonging, our wellbeing in everyday life and during times of crisis.
Building good relationships with our neighbours can start with a smile, a friendly wave and a simple 'hello'.
It’s not always about being best friends but it is good to know that if you need something, your neighbours are there to help. It might just be keeping an eye on your house when you are away or bringing your bins in if you are unwell.
Council encourages and supports neighbourhood connections because we know this is what builds great communities.
