The borough has been awarded just over £3 million as part of the Government s Neighbourhood Renewal Fund. The fund is aimed at helping the most deprived areas in the country to spend more on education, crime prevention, social services, or any other services, which deliver real improvements for the community. The Government has set various criteria which will control how the money is spent. One of the most important aims of these is to encourage partnership working in the community as a force for renewal. Therefore, the allocation of funding according to the Strategy is overseen and monitored by the Barking and Dagenham Partnership. The Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy focuses on the three most deprived wards in the borough, and is broken down according to the seven Community Priorities, so some fuding will be geared towards improving rights and responsibilities in the borough.
The overarching aims of the Barking and Dagenham Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy are:
- To seek to ensure that all neighbourhoods receive the level of public services appropriate to the needs of the area
- To ensure that the outcomes for people in the most deprived neighbourhoods are improved
- To encourage and support local communities to enable them to participate in and influence the decision-making processes in their local neighbourhood
- To ensure that social inclusion underpins goals, targets and actions adopted to alleviate in all wards
