Priority neighbourhoods

What are priority neighbourhoods?

Two project teams were set up during September 2021 to take forward our approach to priority neighbourhoods at Studley Green (Trowbridge) and Queensway (Melksham). These areas were chosen based on a number of factors, including higher reports of antisocial behaviour and fly tipping.

The priority neighbourhoods project teams incorporate colleagues from neighbourhoods, involvement & communities, caretaking and supported housing.

You said, we did.

In September, we completed our priority neighbourhoods project for Studley Green and Queensway. Over the last 12 months, we've achieved some great things.

Click on the below buttons to view our 'You said, we did' for both priority neighbourhoods.

"Our Priority Neighbourhoods has been a great opportunity to focus on several projects at Studley Green and Queensway over the past year. The chance to meet customers in the community, to listen to their feedback and work with partners on local events and initiatives has been hugely positive. We’re looking forward to rolling out a similar approach in other neighbourhoods during 2023."

Jason Humphries, neighbourhood services team manager
