This has been made available on the NRU/ODPM’s web site: http://www.neighbourhood.gov.uk This brief paper provides an overview of all 39 NDC areas. It is designed to help readers appreciate the context within which Partnerships operate and the some of the problems they face The 39 NDC Areas: Brief Pen-Portraits NDC name Area description Bradford: Bradford Trident Bradford Trident NDC is an area of approximately one square mile on the outskirts of Bradford city centre and is made up of three of the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods within Bradford: Little Horton, Marshfields and West Bowling.

National legislation provides a framework which determines the shape of policy, but local problems, challenges and issues provided a series of obstacles. Housing policy was always a top-down process. Tenants were recipients. Policy was ‘area’ driven.’ The choices made resulted in a new type of Slumland – the inner city estate. Culturally as well as spatially,, the ‘inner city’ replaced the ‘slum.’ A process of residualization was reinforced by policy. Until the early 1990s, at no stage were people empowered with choice or involvement in the decision-making process. No alternatives to the industrial scale, area approach.
