Regeneration is a term that means different things to different
people, ranging from large scale activities that promote economic
growth to neighbourhood interventions that improve quality of
life.
The Government’s view is that regeneration is a set of activities
that reverse economic, social and physical decline in areas where
market forces will not do this without support from external
sources (source: review of sub-national economic development and
regeneration, HM Treasury, Department for Business, Enterprise
& Regulatory Reform 2007).
Regeneration, by its very nature, creates opportunities for
everyone involved but the Council is unable to achieve this
without working in close partnership with organisations such as
Suffolk County
Council and 1st East Urban
Regeneration Company and other partners under the umbrella of
the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP).
The Waveney Local Strategic Partnership has set
out the vision for Waveney within the Sustainable Community Strategy and one of
the four fundamental themes and strategic priorities to guide
the delivery of the strategy has been identified as ‘A
Prosperous and Vibrant Economy’ with the following vision:
“Waveney will have developed an innovative,
diverse and sustainable economy that optimises environmental,
cultural and enterprise opportunities”
The WDC Regeneration Service, which consists of the
Economic
Regeneration and Culture, Tourism &
Sport teams, has a responsibility to contribute to and
support the issues and desired outcomes as identified within
the Strategy.
