Neighbourhood Association

SWNA stands for St Werburghs Neighbourhood Association.

For many years some residents had organised themselves informally to unite over issues that cropped up in St Werburghs.

In 1999 SWNA became a recognised organisation with a Constitution and bank accounts.

The SWNA can act as a channel for the residents over issues, concerns and ideas.

Over the last few years the SWNA has had many groups looking at Traffic, Gatton Rd, Mary Secole Court, Transco, Home Zones, Scrapyard, Education, etc.

Recently the SWNA formed a group called Safer Streets. Safer Streets did an audit of actual and perceived Crime and Disorder in St Werburghs. This has now produced a report with many issues and concerns. See sub heading.

Also Mina Matters was created. This is a local newspaper run by volunteers producing an issue every 2 months. 15 street reps deliver this to every household in St Werburghs and various groups, schools and organisations.

The SWNA Officers are as follows:

Chair: Kerry Hall
Vice Chair: Henry Bassadone
Treasurer: Jackie Boden
Secretary: Jim Kinnaird

SWNA always needs more proactive members, so please don't feel intimidated as every little bit helps.
