Derry deprivation relief plan unveiled
A plan to tackle deprivation in Derry was launched today by the Minister for Social Development, John Spellar.
Announcing the publication of the Final Implementation Plan and Equality Impact Assessment, which sets out the Department’s proposals for implementing the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy in the city, the Minister said tackling disadvantaged areas required a targeted partnership approach.
“Neighbourhood Renewal will help to transform our most deprived urban areas and provide genuine opportunities for local communities to influence the services being provided in their area,” Mr Spellar added.
The final Plan includes detailed proposals on the neighbourhoods chosen, how and by whom the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy will be implemented and what kind of schemes might be supported. An Equality Impact Assessment, detailing how Neighbourhood Renewal will affect the Section 75 groups who live within and outside the Neighbourhood Renewal Areas, accompanies it.
The Department for Social Development published ‘People and Place’, the Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal, in June 2003.
The strategy seeks to tackle the complex, multi-dimensional nature of deprivation in our most disadvantaged neighbourhoods and to close the gap between the quality of life for people in these areas and the rest of society.
