The government has set a national target to ensure within the next 10-20 years nobody will be at a serious disadvantage because they live in a particular area.
Where people live influences their opportunities in life. If you live in one of the country's most disadvantaged areas your choices may be very limited. Schools may not be good. Businesses could be struggling. Public transport and housing may be poor. Often the people who live in these areas have little choice over where and how they live.
Regeneration and renewal aims to help priority neighbourhoods in Southampton. We are working with the communities to develop opportunities, stable businesses, more jobs and a safer place to live with better schools, good homes and a sense of community.
One of the ways we do this is through the Southampton Information, Employment and Training Services (SITES) project.
Please see the information on the left for more details about the projects that are being carried out in Southampton.
