About Us

The Rotherham North Area Assembly is one of seven that are spread across the borough. The role of the Area Assembly is to co-ordinate events and activities that are taking place with partner organisations.

It is important to note that the Area Assembly is not just a meeting. 

In 2006, the Council made a decision to change the role and function of the Area Assemblies, taking them away from being simple consultation and information sharing arenas, towards area based co-ordination and delivery of service improvement and regeneration activities.

In order to effect this change a new model was created, making the Area Assemblies more like mini local strategic partnerships, made up of ward councillors, partners and community representatives.

The new model now puts local people and key partners at the heart of the decision making process. Although only operating since November 2006, huge successes have been achieved through aligning community priorities, tackling local issues and managing a partnership approach.
