The role of the Waterside Neighbourhood Renewal Partnership is to implement the Government’s Neighbourhood Renewal programme within the Waterside Neighbourhood Renewal area in Londonderry. The Waterside is an area which suffers from the economic stresses of unemployment and low incomes which are closely linked to social problems such as poor
health, low levels of educational achievement and high levels of crime. Economic deprivation has lead to environmental problems which are characterised by derelict buildings, undeveloped sites and poor services. It is against this backdrop that the Waterside Neighbourhood Renewal Partnership Board plan and implement the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy on the ground. Waterside Neighbourhood Renewal Area is located in the east side of the City and encompasses Top of the Hill, Irish Street, Tullyally, Currrynierin, Clooney and Caw. Top of the Hill and Irish Street estates were developed from the late 1040s/early 1950s; the remainder were first developed in the 1960s, with the exception of Caw, which was developed in the 1970s. Waterside Neighbourhood Partnership is an inter-sectoral partnership of public, private and community/voluntary interests formally established in October 2007 to work with DSD’s North West Development Office on the delivery of the Department’s Neighbourhood Renewal strategy over a 7-10 year planning and implementation timeframe and to take the lead in managing the Neighbourhood Renewal process in the Waterside Neighbourhood Renewal areas and to implement the Waterside NR Action Plan, the vision of which is “To collectively promote actions that will influence policies, programmes, priorities and providers so that opportunities are created and change happens to address the identified needs of residents living the Waterside Neighbourhood Renewal area.”
