Our vision
In the summer of 2005, we carried out consultation to find out the opinions of residents towards housing issues in the area. Through a series of events and a survey, we found out what people in NewcastleGateshead thought of housing, our vision and objectives and what they feel makes a great place to live. This information not only helped us as we put together our scheme submission for funding, it also enabled us to update our vision and objectives. Our updated vision and objectives are:
Our Vision
To create great places to live.
By 2018, the housing market in Bridging NewcastleGateshead will be revitalised and the population stabilised and starting to increase. There will be a better choice of affordable homes that meet the aspirations of existing and future residents. The area will be attractive to families and professionals working in the expanding cultural and knowledge industries and graduates and first time buyers will choose to move to the area.
Our objectives
• To enable more people to enter and sustain home ownership, reflecting housing aspirations and to help reduce concentrations of worklessness
• To provide an improved choice of good quality, well designed homes through new development and investment in sustainable homes whilst replacing obsolete housing.
• To work with partners to improve neighbourhoods to provide a good quality of life and place.
