Welcome to the Marlborough Community Channel! Today Saturday March 7th is our launch date!
The Marlborough Community Channel is a local hub for residents of Marlborough Street, Marlborough Mews, Regents Hill, Upper North Street, and surrounding streets.
Our goal is to help neighbours stay informed, get involved, and protect the character of our community. We aim to:
-Keep local residents informed
-Share updates on planning applications, council consultations, and local initiatives.
-Alert residents to changes affecting our streets, including traffic, parking, or building work.
- Campaign to influence the Council to listen and act on what local residents think
-Encourage community participation
-Provide a platform for residents to express their views on local issues.
-Improve our environment and quality of life
- Seek to reduce and mitigate graffiti, littering and improve refuse collection
-Share Local News and Updates
-Provide reminders of important deadlines for planning objections or local consultations.
-Support a Strong, Cohesive Community and represent views to the Council and other stakeholders
Why Participation Matters
Our community is small and sits in the heart of our vibrant city which brings its own particular challenges. Active participation helps protect residential character, manage noise and parking, and ensure that council decisions reflect our local priorities.
By joining in, you will help create a safer, quieter, and more cohesive neighbourhood. Everyone is welcome providing you live or work in the locality.
Please support our new initiative and sign the leaflet put through your door, or send us an email, or message a text or WhatsApp. We will be going door to door to get things moving.
Current Campaigns include...
- lobbying the council to fix footpath and railings on Regents Hill damaged by reversing M&S trucks ( council says "not urgent" as not enough people complained!)
- Updates on imminent AirBnb applications affecting local residents . There is a planning appeal in progress which aims to overturn a recent Council refusal.
- Action to reduce graffiti in Marlborough Street and Regents Hill

But we are not just about bins and broken pavements! We like to party too!

Leaflets are being distributed door to door today and tomorrow. If you have an issue or if you have a particular interest in one of the campaigns please tell us!
