The contrast between the two regeneration teams I met this week couldn’t have been greater. The first was a community development team, based in a bungalow next to a council building that had seen better days. The physical peripherality of their base was reflected in the low priority given to their work in the pecking order for funding. Yet on a meagre budget and with little external support, they had nurtured a project that had given pride and purpose to a cluster of black and minority ethnic groups.
