Meet the Team



New Picture here soon.

Hello from Wentworth South Area Assembly team!

As you can see from the photograph there are three of us in the team.  I’m Darren Smithson, the Area Partnership Manager, there’s Julie Colley, the Community Involvement Officer, and, Mandy Ardron, Community Support Officer.

The job for our team is to support the work of the Wentworth South Area Assembly, and the Wentworth South Neighbourhood Action Group. 

The Area Assembly and the Neighbourhood Action Group are all about supporting the improvement of services across your area, in response to what you tell us are your priorities for change.

As Area Partnership Manager, I manage the team. I work day to day with elected members, colleagues from different services and agencies and community groups to help plan and deliver key projects for service improvement, and to make best use of available resources.  I also chair the Neighbourhood Action Group, which works in three priority neighbourhoods, with the aim of reducing crime and anti-social behaviour.

As Community Involvement Officer, Julie’s main role is to make sure there are effective working arrangements between the Council, other service providers and local communities, partnerships and networks. Julie has a key role in developing and delivering consultation, to inform the work of the Area Assembly and its Coordinating Group.

We are supported by Mandy, the Community Support Officer, who provides invaluable support in the day to day running of the office, organising and supporting our many meetings, producing publicity, and generally keeping us on track.

The only way we can help get more things done in our area, is with your help and support.  Please come along to our Area Assembly meetings (when and where will always be included on our website and in our newsletter), or This is a link icon Contact Us to tell us what you think about the Area Assembly, or what you’d like to see changed in your neighbourhood.

We look forward to hearing from you.
