The Salford Spotlight Experience Strategy & Regeneration Scrutiny Committee 1 September 2008
Our local challenge and commitment: How do we connect people with economic opportunity?
Principle 1: Scale – tackling deprivation as a core competency
Principle 2: Integration – strong Partnerships are a must Economic development Barriers to employers/ investors High worklessness and income poverty Barriers to work for individuals Negative peer culture, low social capital Unpopular neighbourhood in disrepair Social capital Strain on liveability Concentrations of vulnerable residents ‘Liveability’ Source: PMSU/NRU Deprived Areas Review 2004
Principle 3: Community connections are often the best way in…
We need a system to deliver scale, integration and community connections… • Partnerships are an add on to the ‘day job’ for many partners? • Public service incentives focused on national concerns? • Performance measured at city level on many issues? • Inflexible delivery arrangements? • A third sector that is under developed and under supported? • Front line workers un - involved in the regeneration effort? • Deprivation as ‘special operations’?

Key Policy Issues for the City • Need to keep pushing on Spotlight delivery • Joining up services within and across themes is still a major challenge • Need to incentivise performance at local area level – what happens when delivery doesn’t? • Making deprivation a fully mainstreamed issue • Investing in effective City and local partnerships – an open assessment of where we are and plans for the future?
