Welcome to Hendon & East End
 The East End and Hendon Today is a web site developed by the City
Council with the help of local organisations like Hendon Hub, Back
on the Map and ETEC.
The sites aim is to provide a place on the web for the East End
and Hendon communities that they can contribute to, air their views
and get the information they want to see quickly and easily.
The
East End and Hendon contains around 10,400 residents, 4,000 households.
The area borders the City Centre, runs along the river from The
Port on the coast into Grangetown. It is a mixed area of new housing
alongside areas of severe deprivation. The area has seen a lot
of changes in recent years, still suffers from high crime and high
unemployment plus a lack of facilities but also has a reputation
for working together as a community; the recent £54m Back
on the Map project is very welcome example of the community working
together to tackle problems.
We are looking for authors to manage
the content of this and other COI web sites.
