The City’s New Deal for Communities programme is chronicling the effect it has had in transforming the All Saints, Blakenhall and Parkfield areas of Wolverhampton in the last decade by producing a DVD.
ABCD was set up in 2001, having been awarded £53.5 million Government funding, to tackle issues such as unemployment, crime, poor housing, education and health to make a real and lasting change to the lives of the people living in the community. The 10-year programme ends in March 2011.
Mediacove have been working with ABCD to produce a short film which will give an overview of the many projects that have been carried out by ABCD. These include projects such as building the multi-award winning St Luke’s Primary School, reducing crime and increasing residents’ safety, transforming Phoenix Park, providing grants to boost small businesses and providing stunning, award winning eco-friendly new homes.
Tim Clegg, ABCD executive director, said: “The whole ABCD area has undergone a
dramatic transformation in the last 10 years and everyone is proud at what has been
achieved.”
The film will be premiered at a special community celebration event on 12 February 2011, and copies will be given to every household in the area.
