South Perth Community Partnership
Last updated | 15/09/2010
South Perth Community Partnership supports individuals and
groups in the South Perth area of Moncreiffe, Friarton, Craigie and
South Inch to identify issues of concern, find local solutions and
encourage more involvement within the local community.
The partnership is looking to recruit new members. The
South Perth Communities Partnership is made up primarily
of local people as well as a variety of other partners
such as the police, local churches, local schools, Perth &
Kinross Council, Glenearn Community Centre, local projects and
others who meet about once a month.
Within the last year the group has helped organize a Health
Information Day, a Fun Day, worked with the Youth
Services team to put on various activities for young people
and created a local website and identified issues of concern
regarding community safety and the environment.
Over the next year the group plans to carry out a needs assessment
in the area to find out what is important to local people.
They will then create a development plan to address any issues
raised. The group will also be creating a web page about the
area and a local newsletter supporting the green spaces project and
the community allotments project.
The partnership needs more local representation on it. If you
are interested please contact the Senior Community Capacity Worker
on 01738 622256.
South Perth Community Newsletter
The South Perth Community Partnership is hoping to create a
community newsletter and would like to hear from anyone who is
interested in being part of this or would like to contribute an
article. If you are interested please contact the Senior
Community Capacity Worker on 01738 622256.
South Perth Community Allotment Project
An old rundown allotment site just off Glengarry Road in South
Perth has been cleared and had some renovation work done to it by
the Criminal Justice Team. They now want the community to
take over the site. This may involve it reverting back to
individual allotments or becoming a community garden which would
allow schools, projects and individuals to have the opportunity to
do some gardening. The project is in the very early stages so
we would welcome any suggestions about the future of the
site.
If you would like more information on this project or would like to
become involved please contact the Senior Community Capacity Worker
on 01738 477677.
