Neighbourhood Renewal [click here to link to the regeneration site]. One of the main responsibilities of Partners for Brent is to develop and deliver the Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy for deprived areas in Brent to tackle reduce the gap between the wealthiest and poorest neighbourhoods. The idea is that "joined up" thinking and planning by organisations, such as health, police, city council, together with more community involvement, will lead to improved services for local people. Tough new targets are being set by the government to change and improve local services, particularly in neglected areas where change is needed most.
