About us


Jon Compton, Director.

Jon found himself moving to Collyhurst 23 years ago after the area he previously lived in was redeveloped and residents were dispersed around the country. The experience of being moved from his childhood home to another part of the country has stuck with Jon and he works tirelessly to ensure that his community is informed on local developments and has a voice in decision-making.
