Background Information

SRC facilitated an extensive community engagement programme developing a Neighbourhood Action Plan (NAP) for Gresham in Middlesbrough, supporting the Council's Local Community team and working closely with residents, agencies and businesses.

This is an area of mainly older terraced housing, close to the town area identified for priority action in a previous study. Gresham is part of the Tees Valley Living Housing Market Renewal area.

The NAP is housing-led but addresses wider issues around the environment, transport, employment, community facilities, crime and anti-social behaviour.
This followed a 17-month piece of community and stakeholder consultation work in 2004 and 2005 covering the whole Older Housing area of some 10,000 homes. This work focused on a strategy that would help successfully restructure the local housing market and improve residents' quality of life. Working in a team including NLP Planning and DTZ.
