Blears outlines new economic people-focused approach to regeneration

Published: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:33:37

Ministers plan to focus on 'real-life' measures about improving people's lives rather than bricks and mortar targets for regeneration funding. This is so communities get more than a cosmetic facelift and are helped to unlock their potential and take responsibility for their own regeneration.

In future, funding will be more tightly targeted at tackling economic challenges and on outcomes not processes. This would favour schemes that help boost enterprise, give people the skills to work, promote better health, and attract business investment - so communities take responsibility for the long term. Knock on benefits might include tackling anti-social behaviour and creating more harmonious communities.
