Mainstreaming Regeneration Initiatives - 29/07/2010

SURF and the Scottish Government’s Scottish Centre for Regeneration (SCR) have jointly produced a Learning Point paper on Mainstreaming Regeneration Initiatives.

The report draws out a set of useful learning outcomes from a recent workshop on the same theme. The participative event brought together a range of relevant practitioners from across the UK to draw on their experience and knowledge in order to explore how local authorities in Scotland can use mainstreamed resources to support improved approaches to tackling poverty in our most deprived communities.

The key speakers were:

• Peter Allan, Community Planning Manager, Dundee City Council
• Nicky de Beer, Head of Operations, Leadership Centre for Local Government
• Paul Dear, Head of Communities First Unit, Welsh Assembly Government
• Keith Sutherland, Planning and Transport Policy Manager, Belfast City Council

The report is available for download in PDF format at the below SCR website link:
