Past Projects
Urban Futures has successfully managed major Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) programmes through to completion. These were:
West Green Learning Neighbourhood
The West Green Learning Neighbourhood was a £25 million Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) Programme based in the West Green area of Tottenham. Urban Futures managed this seven-year programme in close collaboration with Haringey Council's neighbourhood management team who were core partners and the accountable body for the programme.
The programme's aim was to enrich the lives of people in the area through community life-long learning. It also focused on physically regenerating the local environment and improving the West Green infrastructure.
At the heart of the project was the design and build of the West Green Learning Centre. This is located on the site of the local high school, Park View Academy on Langham Road. The centre now provides a diversity of life-long learning programmes targeted at all age groups, opening up a range of opportunities for West Green residents.
Through extensive consultation with residents and the neighbourhood management board the following programme objectives were identified and successfully achieved:
- Greater community involvement/consultation
- Reduced levels of anti-social behaviour
- Improved built environment
- Improved community safety and reduced crime
- Improved facilities for children, youth and older people
- Life-long learning
- Environmental safety and planning
The resident-led neighbourhood management board set priorities for the programme, whilst Urban Futures ensured its priorities were delivered effectively. Local knowledge and involvement was essential to the delivery of the programme and has ensured a lasting legacy for the people of West Green.
For further information about the outcomes of the West Green Learning Neighbourhood programme please contact Steve Delaney, Operations Manager (Employment & Skills), via email: steve.delaney@urbanfutures.org.uk or on 020 8352 5923.
Joining Up Northumberland Park (JUNP)
JUNP was a £15-million Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) programme based in the Northumberland Park area of Tottenham in Haringey. This seven-year programme aimed to improve residents' quality of life by enhancing the physical environment, tackling crime and upgrading facilities as well as increasing people's life opportunities through improved access to employment and training.
The programme focused on areas including crime and the environment, youth development, employment and training, and overall community development.
The key objectives of the programme were derived from these four areas and were as follows:
- To reduce crime and improve community safety and enhance the environment.
- The improvement of opportunities, aspirations, confidence and well being for young people.
- Support and promotion of local enterprise, access to employment and childcare.
- Improvement of the quality of local services.
Core to the programme was the design and build of the Neighbourhood Resource Centre (NRC) in Park Lane. The NRC serves as an invaluable resource for local residents, through which they can access a wide-range of services. These include employment skills and training, legal advice, childcare and health services. Learndirect now has a branch at the centre and there is a neighbourhood resource room where residents can access the internet and telephones to look for employment.
The JUNP programme was resident-led via a neighbourhood board with overall management provided by Urban Futures in collaboration with Haringey Council's neighbourhood management team.
Now that SRB funding is at an end, the NRC became part of the council's mainstream services and the neighbourhood management team will continue to work with residents to improve the environment and services to the community.
