Streetly Health Watch is a small group of volunteers who are interested in local health issues. The group is backed and funded by Walsall Primary Care Trust and meets on a monthly basis.

Issues discussed can range from chiropody services, drug abuse and healthy eating. The group also looks at any issue which can affect health such as environmental matters.

Health Watch aims to promote health awareness amongst local residents and groups. It can offer help and advice on local services and help arrange for speakers to visit groups to talk on specialised health subjects.

Streetly is one of five 'health watches' in the local area. It links in with other health groups and also with Aldridge South and Streetly Local Neighbourhood Partnership - or LNP. (The LNP is effectively your local Council meeting - it meets every two months to discuss local community issues).

Streetly Health Watch usually meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at All Saints Church Hall, Foley Road East at 7.00pm, check the Whats on & Events page for details. Anyone interested in health issues is welcome to attend. Meetings are advertised in Streetly Sports Centre, Blackwood Road Library, GP surgeries, local shops and on the streetly website.

Streetly Health Watch hopes to raise health awareness across the whole of its community.

'Health Watch is helping Walsall Sports and Leisure Department to introduce its 'Walk On' health walks into the Streetly area. The walks are being held every Tuesday afternoon in Blackwood Park. If there is sufficient interest, more walks will be introduced - for details see the Whats on & Events page.

Currently, Health Watch is hoping to hold joint events with local playgroups involving parents too. Plans are already underway. Details will be featured on Whats on & Events page.

If there are any health issues you would like to see tackled or events you would like to be held, or for any other information, please contact our chairman Peter Roberts on 07979 413 775.
