Neighbourhoods In Focus
Across our geography, LiveWest has pinpointed a number of priority areas or Neighbourhoods In Focus. These are areas where both we and our customers have identified needs or issues that we can support them with. Each of our Community Connectors will be working within several Neighbourhoods In Focus, outlined by individual Action Plans.
We have been listening to your thoughts and experiences to help us shape our service and community plans. Bringing together teams from across LiveWest and our partner organisations, each with their own expertise, we will work with you to build on the skills and people within our communities.
If you would like to get involved please contact us and look for more news coming soon.
