Priority neighbourhoods

2021-2022

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.

"Our priority neighbourhoods was 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, listen to their feedback and work with partners on local events and initiatives has been hugely positive. I know that colleagues have really enjoyed engaging with customers and being out in the two neighbourhoods."
