Overview
The types of areas that the programme will operate within include for example:
- ‘Interface’ areas that lie outside of Neighbourhood Renewal areas;
- Areas in economic decline;
- Areas at ‘risk of decline’ for example, those areas that without targeted support may move into the top 10% as defined by Noble;
- Areas at risk of ‘descending into instability and crisis’ or areas in which there is a decline in community cohesion which threatens peace and stability;
- Areas where the loss of the service provided by organisations would have a significant negative impact on the local community.
