Neighbourhood
Renewal and Regeneration
Developing strategic visions and frameworks for a range of organisations
Paula Grizzard,
Company Director, is also a
Neighbourhood Renewal Advisor. Regular assignments are sent
through from the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit looking at various
issues across England.
Among others she is currently working with Government Office
for the East Midlands producing a Opportunity Statement on Worklessness
for the 7 LSPs in the Region. Other recent work has been with
Rotherham, Nottingham, Hull, and Lincoln LSPs.
Other work
that we have been involved in include:
• Leeds Regeneration Plans
We were part of a team that supported Leeds City
Council and the Leeds Initiative (LSP) to develop a set of regeneration
plans for each of the 5 districts in the city and a citywide
implementation plan. The work involved reviewing the existing
neighbourhood renewal strategy and developing an evidence base
for priorities. We supported district partnerships to develop
a set of clear priorities and targets and drafted the plans.
(The work was completed in May 2005)
• Birmingham
Local Area Agreement
Paula is currently working with a team of consultants
and neighbourhood renewal advisers to help Birmingham Strategic
Partnership, Birmingham City Council and partner agencies develop
and deliver their local area agreement. The work involves support
with identifying outcomes and targets, advising and facilitating
partnerships across the city contributing to the development
of the 4 blocks, shaping proposals for freedoms and flexibilities
and a structure for delivering the agreement.
