Department: Northern Ireland AssemblyPublished: 2009-04-16 12:30:35The Committee for Social Development has published a report which is critical of the Department’s implementation of the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy. Committee Chairperson, Mr. David Simpson, MP MLA said, “The Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy offers real opportunities to impact on people’s lives. If implemented effectively, the strategy will target deprivation and work to improve some of the poorest wards in Northern Ireland. “The Department for Social Development has had the lead role in implementing Neighbourhood Renewal since 2003. Our report highlights that despite years of enabling work, the strategy has yet to deliver on all the promises made and expectations raised by Direct Rule Ministers. “The Committee recognizes that significant work has been carried out by Neighbourhood Renewal Partnerships working in the heart of deprived communities. The report sets out that more and targeted support is desperately needed from the Department and other statutory partners to make a real difference”. Mr. Simpson continued, “The Committee wants to see focused additional public service provision. That must mean effective support for social, economic, educational, health and physical resources for Neighbourhood Renewal Areas. The report’s recommendations also include ring-fenced funding and the commitment of all stakeholders to work within new governance arrangements to achieve meaningful area-specific targets.
