Single Regeneration Budget Round 5
Integrating and sustaining communities
The purpose of the Salford SRB5 programme was to secure the comprehensive regeneration of Seedley and Langworthy, located within the inner city, alongside two targeted and co-ordinated city wide programmes of Economic Development and Social Inclusion. Seven year programme October 1999 to March 2006 - £25m SRB, £51m other funding.
Seedley and Langworthy
Allocated £13.75 million over the life of the bid, to be delivered through five sub-programme areas:
- Strengthening the community;
- Stabilising the housing market;
- An integrated approach to crime and anti-social behaviour;
- Personal social and economic well-being; and
- Investing in children and young people.
Economic Development
Allocated £5m to create clear links for people in Seedley and Langworthy and other areas of high unemployment and deprivation with employment and training opportunities across the city and had two key sub-programmes:
- Business development; and
- Targeting local jobs for local people.
Social Inclusion
The physical and economic regeneration in Seedley and Langworthy was to be supported through this programme to tackle social exclusion in other parts of the city with similar problems. £5m was allocated to deliver six inter-related themes:
- Targeting people on low incomes/in poverty/on benefit;
- Targeting people that face barriers to employment;
- Improving health and well being and tackling health inequalities;
- Building community capacity;
- Tackling crime; and
- Maximising the potential of children and young people.
Programme Evaluation
An Evaluation Steering Group was established eighteen months prior to the end of the programme which comprised representatives from the Seedley and Langworthy Trust (local residents), the Charlestown and Lower Kersal NDC programme, and programme/regeneration management. The Steering Group developed the evaluation brief, appointed the consultants and oversaw the evaluation as it progressed. The evaluation was undertaken over the final 12 months and concluded 3 months following the end of the programme. It involved a wide range of local people, stakeholders and project managers.
