Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) - Past Experience Greater London (FRQRPLF'HYHORSPHQW Authority &RPPLWWHH 2FWREHU Report Number: 7 Subject: Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) - Past Experience Report of: Interim Head Of Secretariat 1. Summary This Committee agreed that a scrutiny of past SRB funding could form part of its work programme this year. As a first step, this report summarises the most recent report on past SRB experience available as well as giving the results of a literature search. 2. Background 2.1 SRB is the biggest single form of Economic Development Government Funding and has undergone a number of changes since inception in 1994. 2.2 This funding is distributed by Regional Development Agencies outside London, and through the London Development Agency under the direction of the Mayor in London. 2.3 As the main Committee with terms of reference specifically targeted at economic development (although other Committees of the Assembly could be said to have responsibilities that have economic development consequences), the Committee at its last meeting considered it appropriate to investigate the issue more thoroughly. 2.4 Another report on this agenda considers the last round of SRB funding – SRB6. This report aims to go further back and considers lessons from previous rounds. This is becoming all the more timely given the current debate over SRB funding and whether it ought to change in the near future. 3. Future Approaches to the Work 3.1 Whilst there is considerable work on past SRB funded projects, ideally reports that cover the most recent SRB rounds (4-6) and are London specific would be most helpful. Unfortunately, no single report of this nature is available (through our literature search although research may exist somewhere). 7/1 version 16 oct Annex A lists those reports that appeared most relevant in our literature search. 3.2 In view of that, the attached annex (B) is a summary of one report (Local Government Association called “Mainstream regeneration – a review of policy over the last thirty years). Whilst this considers the national picture, it is the most recent having been published in February 2000. 3.3 It is suggested that the Committee take this work forward in two ways: a) To consider a list of those projects approved under SRB4 and seek more detailed information on those that the Committee would wish to investigate further. b) To formally ask the DETR and GOL about any forthcoming changes that they are contemplating. The Committee can then consider whether it wishes to contribute to that debate in London. 3.4 An alternative is to concentrate on reviewing the decisions of the Mayor for SRB round 6 and seek to influence the debate on the future of SRB on that basis. 3.5 The Committee is asked to identify which of the two approaches (or any others) it would wish officers to pursue. 4. Strategy Implications 4.1 The distribution of future regeneration budgets by the Mayor will be heavily influenced by the Economic Development Strategy that this Committee may be asked to scrutinise on behalf of the Assembly. 5. Financial Implications 5.1 None 6. Recommendations 6.1 That the Committee notes the attached summary report and members identify if they wish to receive copies of any other papers listed in annex (A). 6.2 That the Committee considers how it would wish to approach further work on the effectiveness of SRB funding.

  • CHALKHILL ESTATE MULTI-STOREY BLOCK MANAGEMENT Ate SECURITY
    housing safe communities an evaluation of recent initiatives Edited by Steve Osborn London: Safe Neighbourhoods Unit CASE STUDY ASSESSMENT CHALKHILL ESTATE MULTI-STOREY BLOCK MANAGEMENT Ate SECURITY INITIATIVE Kendrick Estate description Chalkhill Estate is a large estate of deck access and low rise dwellings located in Wembley, directly to the south of Brent Town Hall. Construction of the estate started in 1969. and the first residents moved into the system built blocks in 1971. The estate comprises Just under 2,000 units — 1,281 in 30 medium-rise deck access blocks and 700 low-rise dwellings (houses, fiats and maisonettes). It is bordered to the north and west by main roads and to the south by a railway line. Access to the blocks is by means of a complex system of footpaths. 4 The deck access part of the estate consists of 30 concrete clad blocks of five to eight storeys linked by continuous high level access decks at every third fioor. The blocks form large courtyards, most of which are partly open on one side. The site layout is probably one of the most confusing in the country because all the blocks are more or less identical In appearance, and most of them adjoin at an angle of about 120 degrees. As a result, many people lose their sense of direction when walking through the site or along the access decks. There are estimated to be about five miles of access deck, with many interconnections, changes of direction and concealed or under-lit spaces. The layout therefore contains many of the ingredients for an environment where crime is easy to commit and residents and visitors anxieties are heightened.

Hurren School of Historical Studies University of Leicester Leicester, UK Sarah Tarlow History and Archaeology University of Leicester Leicester, UK This limited, fnite series is based on the substantive outputs from a major, multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Wellcome Trust, investigating the meanings, treatment, and uses of the criminal corpse in Britain. It is a vehicle for methodological and substantive advances in approaches to the wider history of the body. Focussing on the period between the late seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries as a cru- cial period in the formation and transformation of beliefs about the body, the series explores how the criminal body had a prominent presence in popular culture as well as science, civic life and medico-legal activity. It is historically signifcant as the site of overlapping and sometimes contradic- tory understandings between scientifc anatomy, criminal justice, popular medicine, and social geography.

Introduction 3 2. Health 4 3. Education 26 4. Crime (& safety) 43 5. Housing 59 6. Social Inclusion (& regeneration) 76 2 The Bartlett School of Planning University College London 1. introduction the bibliography This bibliography of design value represents a systematic attempt to collate research that examines the ‘value added by good design in five key areas: • Health • Education • Crime (& safety) • Housing • Social inclusion (& regeneration) The bibliography provides a first attempt to bring together knowledge in these key areas of public and private sector interest. It offers a clear evidential base to back arguments that better design adds social, economic and environmental value and is therefore a worthwhile investment. No claim is made that the bibliography is comprehensive in any of the areas examined. Indeed, in some of the area (particularly crime and housing) it may merely represent the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless, 135 sources have been brought together mainly from across the English speaking world which together start to make a strong case that better design adds value. In the main the bibliography reviews existing published sources. Some of the entries, however, represent work in progress and a few represent the outcomes of discussions the authors had with key individuals in the field. the structure The bibliography is listed alphabetically by author in its five substantive sections.
