Neighbourhood Committee
The Neighbourhood Committee membership is made up of the Councillors from the five Wards, co-chaired by Councillor Ken Smith and Councillor James White.
The Committee makes decisions about where you live and are responsible for local issues such as traffic, parking, planning applications, parks and open spaces and local libraries. The Neighbourhood system gives you the opportunity to have a say and influence decision making at a local level about the services that matter to you.
The Neighbourhood Committee has a small Discretionary Fund that is used to fund projects to improve the well-being of the Neighbourhood.
Your Neighbourhood Manager is Hannah Rees (hannah.rees@rbk.kingston.gov.uk) tel: 020 8547 5937
Neighbourhood Management support the Committee and provide the link role between them, other organisations such as Kingston PCT and Kingston Police, and local residents. They bring together communities where everyone has the right to be heard and to influence so that the Neighbourhood is a safer, more prosperous and healthy community where people want to live, work or visit and to be proud of.
