Our Focus: The un - met challenge of Neighbourhood Renewal

“Harnessing the hundreds of billions of pounds spent by key Government

departments, rather than relying on one-off regeneration spending”.

National Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal 2001

Spotlight – toward a system to deliver transformation and Connecting People

Community connections are the best way in…

We need a system to deliver scale, integration and community connections…

• Partnerships feel like an add on to the ‘day job’?

• Public services incentivised by national concerns?

• Performance measured at city level on many issues?

• Inflexible ‘one size fits all’ delivery arrangements?

• Third sector on the fringes?

• Deprivation as ‘special operations’?

We have found common problems across issues

- Weak local data- Weak analytical capacity- Engagement not influencing delivery enough

- Plans not locally specific- Local governance not connected to LSP - Barriers to entry

- Patchy evaluation- Weak mainstreaming practice

- Fragmentation- Weak cross referral- Lack of incentives to meet local standards - Weak collective action- Instability
