Locality Working

South Trafford has a healthy and active network of local residents, community groups, Ward Councillors, and staff who work in organisations such as the Council, Police, leisure, housing and health. They come together regularly through groups such as the Timperley Vision Group and Broadheath Partnership to help communities to thrive and come together. It is part of the Communities Officer's role to help facillitate these groups and enable them to make South Trafford a better place to live.
