Local Trust commissioned Shared Intelligence to conduct a landscape review of local government’s work supporting communities at the neighbourhood level.

The aim of this report is to provide the local government sector with up-to-date information about the role of neighbourhood and locality working in tackling areas of disadvantage. It presents in-depth findings from 34 local authorities, including: neighbourhood management across community hubs and community safety models; health-led neighbourhood intiatives; and parish and town councils.

This report also supports our national network for neighbourhood improvement (3ni), aimed at fostering learning among those involved in community-led and place-based regeneration.
