what is the community partnership?
The Easton Community Partnership brings together residents, community groups, and local agencies (like the police, health and education authorities, council departments etc) to create a community-led organisation that will lobby for improved local services. The Partnership Board meets monthly, leading the work of the Neighbourhood Management programme in Easton and Lawrence Hill. The majority on the Board are Resident Representatives, elected by people who live in the neighbourhood.
