Interventions to Tackle the Economic Needs of Deprived Areas Interventions to tackle the economic needs of deprived areas Analysis of six policy case studies David North, Stephen Syrett and David Etherington This study examines six policy initiatives aimed at tackling the economic and employment needs of people living in deprived areas. Drawn from the six study areas (see main report), these initiatives are selected as good practice examples of joint working between different levels of governance and of effective linking of the economic and social objectives: n The Acumen Community Enterprise Development Trust (North East region) n Camborne Pool Redruth (CPR) Works (South West region) n Local Alchemy (East Midlands region) n Brent into Work (London) n South Lanarkshire Routes to Inclusion (Scotland) n Want2Work (Wales). The case studies demonstrate the importance of employer engagement, identifying entry-level jobs, and the use of person/client-centred methods, as well as diffi culties arising from existing governance and funding arrangements.

The research was undertaken between 2005 and 2007 and had the following four aims: 1 to assess the actual and potential impact on the economic and employment needs of disadvantaged places of new and emerging governance structures at the regional and sub-regional scales 2 to assess the degree of compatibility between strategies at the regional and sub-regional levels concerned with economic development and job growth, and policies at the local and neighbourhood levels concerned with tackling economic and social exclusion 3 to identify and critically evaluate examples of good practice where integration between different levels of governance and economic and social policy agendas has benefi ted deprived localities and the people who live and work within them 4 to generalise lessons from such good-practice examples, paying particular attention to the importance of regional differences in governance arrangements and the relative benefi ts of different kinds of interventions. The research was conducted in two sequential stages. The fi rst focused on aims (1) and (2) above, and involved a review and analysis of strategies and policies at the regional and sub-regional level in relation to the needs of disadvantaged places and people. The study areas were characterised by a range of different devolved and regional governance arrangements as well as different types of deprived areas (i.e. inner cities, coalfi elds and rural areas). They comprised four English regions – North East, South West, East Midlands and London – Scotland and Wales. The second stage focused on aims (3) and (4) and examined six different examples of policy interventions aimed at tackling the economic needs of deprived localities – one from each of the study areas – in order to consider the possible infl uence of different models of devolved governance. 1 Interventions to tackle the economic needs of deprived areas Volume 1, which presents the main fi ndings of the research, is supplemented by two further volumes: Volume 2 presents the detailed fi ndings relating to governance for the four English regions, Scotland and Wales; and Volume 3 presents the analysis of each of the six policy case studies examining good practice. The case studies This volume comprises separate chapters on six case studies of particular schemes seeking to promote employment, self-employment and business start-up within deprived localities, one drawn from each of the four English regions, Scotland, and Wales: n Acumen Community Enterprise Development Trust (Easington, North East): a social enterprise supporting social and economic regeneration through learning, employment and enterprise initiatives in a former coalfi eld community n Camborne, Pool, Redruth (CPR) Works (West Cornwall, South West): an Urban Regeneration Company that aims to link the workless to jobs created through physical and economic regeneration n Local Alchemy (various locations, East Midlands): a project that promotes enterprise and community-led economic development that is also socially and environmentally sustainable n Brent in2 Work (Brent, London): a partnership that encourages the strategic co-ordination of employment and training provision to help residents make the transition from welfare to work n South Lanarkshire Routes to Inclusion (South Lanarkshire, Scotland): a partnership that strategically co-ordinates labour market programmes to help excluded people back to work n Want2Work (Merthyr Tydfi l, Wales): a locally co-ordinated approach to employment and health services that delivers intensive assistance to long-term benefi t claimants to help them fi nd and stay in a job. These case studies were selected as a means of examining initiatives where some degree of joint working between the national, regional/sub-regional and local levels of governance was apparent within areas suffering high levels of worklessness. As well as the need for partnership working between different levels of governance, the case 2 Introduction selection also identifi ed those initiatives that linked and integrated economic growth/ development with tackling economic and social exclusion, and were examples of good practice in terms of community participation. The aim was to examine a varied mix of case studies, including interventions that were focused on place (e.g. physical regeneration schemes)

  • Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham
    Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 7 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 11 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 13 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Derwentside District Council area, County Durham. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.

During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.

Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
