To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Change and Communities detailing the SRB2 Regeneration Programme Succession Strategy. The £26 million SRB2 regeneration programme was used to improve life in the inner city neighbourhood, create 820 new jobs, directly helped 1,356 residents to get jobs and 909 to obtain qualifications. 129 new businesses were helped to start up and 25,500m² of new and improved business space created, alongside 467 new homes for rent being built and 386 new homes for sale.
A decade after the SRB2 grant-funding ceased it is proposed to re-invest remaining legacy assets held by the Council (as Accountable Body) in the SRB2 programmes successor body West Itchen Community Trust, to ensure the infrastructure and social-capital of the inner-city area continues to be improved.
