The Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy
The Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy
for the District is an integral part of the Community Strategy. The Strategy has a particular focus on the 10% most deprived areas (defined as such because of the multiple deprivation experienced by those areas) and aims to narrow the divide between these areas and those areas of the district performing better than average. It also has a particular focus on the root causes of deprivation.
What is the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF)?
The Neighbourhood Renewal Fund was set up by the Government to enable the identified 88 most deprived areas in England to improve services through their Local Strategic Partnership and to narrow the gap between these deprived areas and the rest of England.
Bolsover District has been in the bottom 50 most deprived wards in England
since the programmes inception in 2001 and so received Neighbourhood Renewal Funding to the value of £11 million between 2001 and 2008.
The fund was intended to provide additional resources to improve mainstream services in the most deprived areas of Bolsover district, including contributing to the achievement of floor targets to narrow the gap between deprived areas and the rest of the country.
Floor targets were set by Government across a range of issues that affect deprived areas, such as employment, economic performance, crime, education, health and housing.
More information on how the Local Strategic Partnership allocated its NRF and the resulting impact on floor targets can be found below, or on the LSP’s performance management system.
