  13. Has Regeneration Been Successful in Fazakerley? Is new housing genuinely attracting new residents into the city, or is it simply meeting the changing housing demands of the existing population?

  14. Has Regeneration Been Successful In Fazakerley?Where Have People Come Here From? The aim of the regeneration programme was to attract people from outside of Liverpool. However, 78% of residents questionnaired moved from Liverpool to these houses.

  15. Has Regeneration Been Successful In Fazakerley?Liverpool City Councils Project Aims The key objective of the councils housing plan policies are: “to maximise the contribution of housing to urban regeneration and to ensure that good quality housing, appropriate to peoples needs is available for all those who wish to live in the city” Liverpool City Council Website, 2002

  16. Has Regeneration Been Successful In Fazakerley?Interview Analysis “The council only gave planning permission for the housing on the condition that something was built for the children, as so many lived in the surrounding area” (Mrs. Robertson)

  17. Has Regeneration Been Successful In Fazakerley?Interview Analysis “People in generally [general] will look at a house like this, in particular with them being new. Mostly its young couples, they’re like lemmings that jump off the end of a cliff, they want one” (Mrs. Donaldson)

  18. Has Regeneration Been Successful In Fazakerley?Dissatisfactions With The Housing

  19. Has Regeneration Been Successful In Fazakerley?Residents Views • The local environment seems to be the most problematic areas of dissatisfaction • The second biggest area of complaints were problems with the actual house • Problems with price were also highlighted • A smaller proportion of residents viewed social conditions and amenities as a problem • However, 27% of residents found nothing wrong with the housing or the area

  20. Conclusions • The area is characterised by young families • The vast majority of residents lived elsewhere in Liverpool before moving, if not then most resided in the Merseyside area • The local council, at this time, is failing to attract new residents from outside the area • Although housing regeneration is taking place, interviews and questionnaires suggest that there are some environmental and construction issues that must be addressed • This is definitely a step-up from previous initiatives of regeneration
