What is Comeunity?
Comeunity is the Neighbourhood Management Programme for South and Central Yarmouth (including Runham Vauxhall), improving services in order to raise the quality of life of people living in the neighbourhoods. Residents are at the centre of decision-making, ensuring that solutions are owned locally, rather than being imposed. The Comeunity team works with local residents and local service providers, including the Borough and County Councils, Police, Education, Health and Environmental Services. We are based at the Neighbourhood Centre in South Yarmouth at 143 King Street, and are open from 9.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Thursday and 10am-4pm on Fridays. We welcome your thoughts, ideas and involvement so get in touch today!
