Denton and Audenshaw District Assembly was formed in 1998 and is one of eight area-based panels established by Tameside Council.

It provides a focal point for questions about public services and issues affecting the area and elected members, staff and many partners work to help develop and improve local services and, where possible, to facilitate local solutions to local problems.

Everyone involved with the District Assemblies works hard as a team, regardless of party political persuasion, to do the best for the area.

It's gratifying that so many people come to our meetings and we look forward to seeing more people over the next year.

Our District Assembly meets every few weeks. Every day, teams of Assembly staff are out and about making the streets cleaner and safer and working with others to provide more services and activities in our town.

So we hope you'll come along and get involved.
