The neighbourhood renewal unit has been responsible for implementing the Neighbourhood renewal strategy. This enforces the Governments vision of narrowing the gap between deprived neighbourhoods and the rest of the country, so that within 10 to 20 years time no one should be seriously disadvantaged by where they live.

The Local Strategic partnership has a responsibility to steer this vision and has been given additional funding (neighbourhood renewal funding), to act as a catalyst to improve on the following areas where disadvantage and inequality is most prevalent; education, worklessness, crime (community safety), education, health, housing and transport.

Nottinghamshire Black Partnership administered a focussed away day with the board and the staff, to evaluate which of the Neighbourhood renewal targets was of highest priority to the communities which it was advocating on behalf of. It was clear that in terms of inequality there were issues that affected the communities across the board. However there were certain areas which needed particular attention which would also have a knock on effect on the other Floor Targets.

The areas of particular focus areeducation, health and crime. These issues are explored further in this pages sub-catagories listed in the main menu.
