They have considerable hands-on experience of neighbourhood-based programmes and previously wrote CIH's 2001 Good Practice Guide on Neighbourhood Management. This guide is a joint publication with the Housing Corporation and was funded by the Housing Corporation and Communities and Local Government. |
