Working together to support and enhance Blackwatertown and the surrounding areas. Join us in making a difference!

Our focus is on economic growth, cultural enrichment, and community regeneration—ensuring a thriving and sustainable future for all. We are involved in the development of the village & surrounding areas. The objectives of the Association are to celebrate diversity, promote equality and good relation and build a peaceful shared society. Our village currently has a lot to offer, with so many Clubs available to us and our children, our local top band awarded Primary School and Churches who all work hard to improve facilities to us. We are hoping to work with these groups whilst organising community events and to progress with existing regeneration plans, promote well-being and increase the range of activities for young and old alike.

🎃 HALLOWEEN – LET’S RESPECT OUR VILLAGE! 🎃

As Halloween approaches, Blackwatertown Community Development Association would like to encourage everyone to enjoy the celebrations safely and responsibly.

We kindly ask everyone, especially our young people, to show respect for our village, its residents and their property.

🏡 Respect our neighbours, particularly elderly and vulnerable residents.

🚮 Keep our streets and public spaces clean.

🎆 Be mindful of fireworks and the distress they can cause to people and pets.

❤️ Look after one another and help keep Blackwatertown a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Halloween should be a time of fun and enjoyment, not worry or disruption for others.

🎃 Happy Halloween from everyone at BCDA! 🎃
