Article: Housing-led Regeneration Initiatives Article Body Barnsley Council has a good track record in major housing-led regeneration initiatives. The Council works with Berneslai Homes, housing association partners and private sector developers to deliver a variety of regeneration programmes across the Borough. Over the last 10 years or so the communities of Grimethorpe and Kendray have been radically transformed for the better as have towns and villages in the north-east of the Borough under the Green Corridor programme and areas of the Dearne Valley under the Housing Market Renewal Programme. More recently cuts in public funding have unfortunately resulted in a scaling back of regeneration activity but despite this schemes continue in locations such as New Lodge and Goldthorpe. For more information on these and other regeneration schemes please go to the Berneslai Homes website or the Council webpages on the regeneration of the Dearne Valley.

The Green CorridorProject was an alliance between Barnsley, Doncaster and Wakefield local authorities that had been set up to tackle issues of low housing demand and market vulnerability in defined towns and villages next to each other. Department for Communities and Local Government is working hard to create thriving, sustainable, vibrant communities that improve everyone's quality of life.
