A Good Neighbour is someone who has a friendly chat with their neighbour or looks out for those living near them. They might offer to collect some shopping for their neighbour, or do some weeding or litter-picking in one of the public parks!

This is a page dedicated to Good Neighbours and all of Southend's residents.

  • Southend is our town - what are the issues that matter to you?

    Hello everyone, I work as the Co-production Champion in Southend. Co-production means that residents like you and I can work together with the council and other services to make things be as good as they can in our town. 

    Asking people what matters locally is a great place to start co-production conversations and that's what I am hoping to start here.

    Tell me what's on your mind about our town? 

    I'll tell you what's on mine. How can we help our high street become a brilliant place to be for all our residents? Especially now that so many shops and cafes are so badly affected by Covid19.
