SUMMARY OF
APPROACH/TIMING
The Strategic Vision for the New Commitment
pathfinder provides an action plan for the strategy for Haringey.
This Strategy is based around a number of broad action principles
with a more detailed action plan for developing as the partnership
grows. The strategy has been developed through a wide consultation
with a range of partners and stakeholders.
DISTINCTIVE THEMES
Haringey have a vision for a vibrant and sustainable
community, built within the context of a diverse network of communities,
which aims to ensure that Haringey is a place where people choose
to live for the quality of life which the area offers.
Haringey New Commitment has developed a number
of regeneration themes:
— Tackling social cohesion (explores
the levels of deprivation in the area; the cultural diversity;
plans to tackle unemployment; ways to improve qualifications and
skills; tackling homelessness; and addressing racial discrimination
and promoting equal opportunities).
— Improving the borough's competitiveness
and sustainability (this draws on a competitiveness audit study
undertaken by the Local Futures Group. This uses an approach which
integrates economy, equity, and environment).
— Neighbourhood renewal which connects
people and places locally (focuses work on two or three priority
neighbourhoods which reflect local wishes and focus on:
— Improving the housing stock.
— Enhancing the environment and
local amenities.
— Improving community safety.
— Improving residents health.
— Supporting community development.
— Partnership development (NCR is the
first borough-wide regeneration partnership in Haringey. The partnership
has four elements—Haringey-wide regeneration partnership;
borough-wide strategic partnerships; area-based partnerships;
neighbourhood partnerships).
The Vision and Strategy is accompanied by a
thorough analysis of local circumstances. For each of the regeneration
themes there is detailed analysis and a plan of action.
ALIGNING MAINSTREAM
RESOURCES
Mapping of existing mainstream resources is
seen as the first stage. This will then provide input to the regeneration
partners for the planning and budgeting processes for 2000-2001.
The Strategy provides an analysis of the existing
programmes in the area. These include £12 million from SRB,
£4 billion of housing investment over the next three years;
New Deal for Communities; Sure start; Education, employment, and
Health Action Zones. More detailed analysis will follow.
