DEWM Network Event, 8 May 2008, 10am to 1pm, Pride in Camp Hill, Nuneaton.

Pride in Camp Hill is a former mining community which hit on hard times following the decline of the coal industry. The aim is to transform the estate, which has a population of over 6,000, through a series of social and economic regeneration schemes heavily involving the local community. Already 172 new houses have been built, transforming the quality of life, while work is under way on a new business centre with shops, business space and community facilities.

"Pride in Camp Hill is undoubtedly one of the most impressive regeneration projects I have seen during my visits around the region.” (Nick Paul, Chairman of Advantage West Midlands)
