Economic
development and regeneration.
Regeneration
schemes
The
Partnership is used by many public agencies and local authorities to develop
and coordinate district wide regeneration schemes. These have included
nine major schemes under the & Area Investment Framework and Single
Regeneration Budget programmes worth in excess of £150 million, and
including several hundred individual projects.
Large parts
of these schemes have included social regeneration priorities that sat well
alongside the Partnership's own objectives to encourage economic growth that
is inclusive and sustainable
