Neighbourhood Renewal Unit (NRU)

The NRU is responsible for overseeing the Government's comprehensive neighbourhood renewal strategy. A strategy that responds to local circumstances rather than directs everything from Whitehall.  It aims to harness the hundreds of billions of pounds spent by key government departments rather than relying on one-off regeneration spending. A range of different programmes have been established to determine local needs and to pilot new ways to fight deprivation in our poorest, most deprived communities

The NRU is part of the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and working with government offices· neighbourhood renewal teams, we oversee and support local strategic partnerships in the 88 most deprived districts in England.
