Empowering Communities

Empowering communities is a community engagement programme run by southwark council. The programme comprises of regular individual ward meetings held by councillors, and two multi-ward meetings per year. The aim of empowering communities is to make communicating local issues to the council easier for communities.

Each of Borough & Bankside’s wards meet with their councillors a few times per year to talk about issues affecting their neighbourhood, and discuss ways that public money and time could be spent improving it, or even new
regeneration proposals in the area. Everyone in the neighbourhood is welcome to join these meetings.

We’ve put together a page with more information on the Empowering Communities programme and who you can get in contact with to get involved.
