ACTION GREATER BEDMINSTER : a revitalised community network for challenging times
In response to Bristol City Council’s changing strategies with regard to neighbourhoods, at the AGM of the Greater Bedminster Community Partnership members agreed a new approach and a new name was needed. ACTION GREATER BEDMINSTER was launched with a revised constitution, and a strengthened Executive Committee.
WHO ARE WE?
Membership of AGB is open to any community-based organisation in Greater Bedminster (the electoral wards of Bedminster and Southville and immediate surrounds). Eight representatives of those groups will be elected each year to sit on the AGB Executive Committee alongside the four ward Councillors.
HOW CAN YOU HAVE YOUR SAY?
We’ll continue to encourage and support our members by helping to co-ordinate joint projects, providing networking opportunities, sharing advice and more. If you’re a member of a local community organisation based in the Greater Bedminster area, join us now at greaterbedminster@gmail.com to ensure ACTION GREATER BEDMINSTER is truly representative of our neighbourhood, listens to local people, and delivers real improvements and change.
