Neighbourhood Week

What Is It?

Neighbourhood Week is all about getting people to make themselves known to their neighbours, with the aim of encouraging better neighbourhoods.

Modern life often means that contact with neighbours is less spontaneous than in days gone by.

More people work during the day; childcare facilities mean fewer young children to bring parents together; use of cars isolate us to and from shopping, schooling and working; stranger danger and road safety concerns mean children do not wander as freely as in the past; new people moving in are not as often welcomed by friendly neighbours.

When Is It?

This year Neighbourhood Week is being held from 27 October to 3 November, city wide.

You are invited to take part.
