Summary
This text addresses one of the UK's major social policy concerns - the poverty gap between the worst neighbourhoods and the rest of the country. It is an account of neighbourhood decline, a portrait of conditions in the poorest areas and an up-to-date analysis of the impact of the government's renewal policies.
