Ways to create a safer, more cohesive, connected neighbourhood
You’ve bought your new home, in a brand new, modern and stylish estate. The streets are tidy and the public spaces are wonderful, but there’s something missing, that feeling of connectedness, a neighbourhood.
There has been a lot of research over the years, which indicates that knowing your neighbours, at least recognising them, will enhance your feelings of safety, wellbeing and mental health.
Searching for somewhere to host your next event? We know the perfect place - the Burnside Children's & Community Centre.
Located on the corner of Montmarte Boulevard and Lexington Drive, the centre is available seven days a week with three generously sized rooms for hire.
