This report shows the process and the results of the impact assessment carried out on Housing Regeneration Strategies.
The housing regeneration team works in partnership with other council departments, external agencies, developers, Registered Social Landlords and local communities. We do this to make sure our housing developments contributes to securing the physical, social and economic regeneration of the borough.
Findings
There appears to be no areas where there is adverse impact on the population due to the Regeneration Strategies. This is because constant dialogue is maintained with all the groups involved and different methods are used to address specific needs.
Recommendations
Based on the impact assessment the following changes are recommended, it is envisaged that different methods of consultation will be investigated and the cost duly considered.
For this the following things need to be looked into:
- Investigate different methods of consultation/involvement and the expansion of family/children based activities
- Innovative methods of getting uptake from younger people
- Reaching wider audiences on general consultation issue i.e. visiting existing groups to give information to them at their regular meetings
- Keeping levels of public awareness high by regular press, publicity marketing events that are responsibly programmed into project plans to prevent consultation fatigue and groups being omitted
- Having interpreters available for specific community languages available for the consultation drop-in days to discuss issues and voice stakeholders concerns
