Respondent: Brierley Hill Community Forum

Large scale regeneration projects can have a huge impact on local community organisations. Post war regeneration in the Brierley Hill area entailed many people moving away from their local communities. This has had an impact on the long term viability of community and faith provision.

The rate of turn-over amongst younger residents in high density accommodation (for example Brierley Hill flats) makes it increasingly difficult to build strong community organisations due the constantly changing population.
