Eden Locality Board and Community Development Team

Our area Community Development Team works alongside councillors in the Eden Locality Board. They also look after the Eden Community Fund.

Eden Locality Board

The Eden Locality Board is made up of the councillors who have been elected to the wards in the Eden area. 

Find out what Area Locality Boards are responsible for.

The Eden Locality Board has decided upon the following priorities:

Priorities

  • to ensure that Eden is a great area to grow up where children are happy, healthy and have opportunities to reach their full potential
  • to better connect our places by maintaining and developing our networks, infrastructure links and modes of travel
  • to empower our communities to thrive by supporting a strength and asset-based approach to healthy lifestyles and wellbeing
  • to consider the challenge of climate change and biodiversity in everything the Board does.

Eden Community Development Team 

The area team is made up of a manager and supporting Community Development Officers.  Please get in touch to discuss any community issues or projects.

We support people and groups who are developing community groups and engagement activities. We work alongside the Eden Locality Board and manage the Community Fund.

Our Community Development Officers are responsible for specific areas of the Eden Lakes area. The areas are based on our Council wards. If you're unsure which area covers your project, you can search for your ward and councillor by postcode.
