  • The Value of New Transport in Deprived Areas Who Benefi Ts, How and Why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou
    The value of new transport in deprived areas Who benefi ts, how and why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou An assessment of the value of new transport services to people living in deprived neighbourhoods in England. Regeneration strategies for deprived areas are currently under review. To date there has been little if any direct evaluation of the contribution of transport services to local regeneration. This study evaluates the benefi ts – both monetary and quality of life – of transport services to the people who use them and to the local practitioners responsible for the wider regeneration of these neighbourhoods. It covers: • the policy context; • characteristics of the four case study areas (Braunstone, Leicester; Camborne, Pool, and Redruth, Cornwall; Wythenshawe, Manchester and Walsall, West Midlands); • key fi ndings from interviews with local professionals; • information on use of the services and their value to local people; • an evaluation of the social benefi ts of the services; • key messages for local and central government. This publication can be provided in other formats, such as large print, Braille and audio. Please contact: Communications, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, The Homestead, 40 Water End, York YO30 6WP.
