Consultation Response: Transforming Places, Changing Lives; A Framework for Regeneration

Date: October 2008
Details: This framework sets out a package of proposals that aim to shape the way that regeneration is carried out in future in England. The Women’s Resource Centre welcomes the Communities and Local Government’s (CLG)
Transforming places; changing lives: A framework for regeneration, especially as it aims to tackle some of the worst inequality and deprivation in the country; meaningfully involve equality groups from the beginning of the change process and encourage long-term and active commitment by all actors, especially local and central governments. However, we would strongly urge CLG to actively engage with the women’s sector in the further development and implementation of this framework.
