About Us

Rotherham South Area Assembly is one of seven across the Borough.

Area Assemblies are a partnership of individuals, agencies and organisations working together to tackle local issues and to listen to local people. 

It is important to note that the Area Assembly is more than just a meeting it is one way of bringing people together who live and work in an area to make a difference.  It aims to put Communities in control over local decisions to enable improvement in services and regeneration activities.

The Area Assembly is more like a mini strategic partnership made up of ward councillors, partners and community representatives. 

Meetings are held regularly in each area and will now incorporate monthly P.A.C.T. meetings (Partners and Communities Together) which are a new initiative from the Home Office.  This will be incorporated into the Public Meeting where all the right agencies are represented at an appropriate level and who can take action on a variety of issues raised by the public.  The meeting will provide monthly comparable crime information and update you on what action has been taken on crime and anti social behaviour in your neighbourhood.  It will enable them to inform you on what has happened to any criminal convicted for local crimes including Community Payback sentences.

Area Assemblies put local people and key partners at the heart of the decision making process and to date huge successes have been achieved through aligning community priorities, tackling local issues and managing a partnership approach.

If you would like any further information about the role of the Rotherham South Area Assembly or Rotherham's Area Assemblies in general, please Contact Us and we will assist in any way we can.
