Putting the strategy in its place

New Deal for Communities is a major Government initiative running in 39 areas to renew neighbourhoods where people are disadvantaged by where they live. In Burngreave, the partnership’s intentions for economic development are:

These intentions are similar to the policies of the City Council, the economic vision for South Yorkshire and the ambitions of the region, national Government and of Europe. The Burngreave New Deal for Communities partnership wants to focus these intentions and ambitions on the Burngreave area so that local people, groups and businesses are not left behind the prosperity of other areas.

So the Strategy for the local economy concentrates on Burngreave and the issues in the area, aims to close the gap with Sheffield and join in with the city’s growth and will guide spending to make sure this happens. It is a Strategy for the New Deal area and for all the national, regional, South Yorkshire, Sheffield and other bodies who support economic development, including the New Deal for Communities partnership.
