Neighbourhoods

In recent years, the Neighbourhoods' agenda has been of increasing interest to both central and local government. This is evidenced by the increased priority given to neighbourhood and community empowerment in Whitehall policies. Our Neighbourhoods' work aims to provide research and projects that support local communities and increase their sense of empowerment along with greater powers at a local level.
