NRF funding is to be used by the LSP to improve the level of services provided in the six Priority Neighbourhoods in the Borough in the short term with the commitment that the main service providers - be they Police, Borough Council, County Council, Primary Care Trust - will continue to fund the provision of the improved services after March 2008 from their existing 'mainstream' budgets.

The levels of deprivation in the six Priority Neighbourhoods is defined using data available from the Census 2001 and other data available from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Neighbourhood Statistics (NeSS) website.
