The Ashley, Easton and Lawrence Hill Neighbourhood Partnership is an emerging partnership looking at strategic issues across the inner city. It is the coming together of two community partnerships in the area (St Pauls Unlimited and Easton and Lawrence Hill Neighbourhood Management Board) and is building on the strengths of these two groups to solve problems at a neighbourhood level.
The Neighbourhood Partnership is in its early stages and meets four times a year. It is a meeting that anyone can attend to observe but only members of the Partnership can participate in the meetings. Key issues that the Partnership is considering include drug dealing, protecting and maintaining green spaces, employment and training for young people and maintaining good cleansing standards on our streets.
If you are a resident of the area and have a concern or issue you’d like the Partnership to consider, your best course of action is to attend your local Neighbourhood Forum. These are ward meetings where residents can find out about things happening in their area and also raise issues one to one with officers working in the neighbourhood.
Neighbourhood Partnership and Forum Meetings
Neighbourhood Partnership meetings and Forum meetings work together to progress the issues raised in each Neighbourhood Partnership. You can find out more about them here. If you have any suggestions about how the forums should be run or things you would like to discuss, please

The Ashley, easton and Lawrence Hill Neighbourhood Partnership would like to hear from residents or businesses interested in taking up any of the following 8 available places:
Resident members
- Easton Ward
There are 3 places for residents who live in the `lower Easton' part of the Easton ward - this includes Whitehall/Greenbank down to Chelsea Road/Albion Road and the railway (the railway is the ward boundary).
- Lawrence Hill Ward
1 place for a resident from Redcliffe
- Ashley Ward
1 place for a resident from St Werburghs
Business members
- 1 retailer from Lawrence Hill ward
- 2 non retail businesses in the NP area
- 1 national retailer
New members will join existing members - a large and diverse group from across the three wards. The Neighbourhood Partnership meets four times a year. Frome June meetings will be on a Tuesday, 6.30-9.30pm. You must be able to attend these meetings plus the Neighbourhood Forum in your area. It is helpful but not essential if you can be contacted by email. Neighbourhood Partnership members are `champions' (not `representatives') - having a voice for the area, bringing experience and insight to the work of the partnership and telling others about it. Please don't be shy - if you are interested please do get in touch. You will be asked to write something about yourself which will go to the Neighbourhood Forum. If there are more people than places it will be the Forum that decides. There is no deadline but the earlier people come forward the sooner you will be able to get involved.
