The Riverside Neighbourhood Team works on behalf of the Area Committee covering the Drypool, St. Andrew's and Docklands and Newington wards to provide excellent and accountable services which help address local priorities and contribute to achieving the City's aspirations by-

  • improving residents' quality of life across a range of issues
  • supporting members in carrying out their area and community leadership roles
  • listening to our communities and involving them in designing the services they want
  • supporting the delivery of effective frontline services, that meet the needs of local residents
  • help communities to develop a healthy, safe, green and sustainable environment for current and future generations
