Our mission is Community Effort and Advocacy for Community Growth – through a more collaborative approach, innovative solutions and building stronger relationships with key local and regional partners. The Steering Group was formed out of the Marlborough District Council’s Smart + Connected community programme in 2014; our members (all volunteers) represent a broad range of skills and knowledge, and most lead one or more of the Project Groups (where the fun stuff happens).
