About our neighbourhood
Welcome to the West Mendip Neighbourhood Team page. My name is Siobhan White, and I’m the Connect Somerset Champion for West Mendip. I share this role with Jessica Lewin. We both work for YMCA, which supports young people in Somerset.
West Mendip Neighbourhood is made up of the city of Wells, Glastonbury town the Village of Street, and the surrounding villages and hamlets. Glastonbury is one of the top 20% most deprived areas in England, with many residents relying on local food banks and community pantries. Transport is limited, with no train links and poor bus services.
