Welcome to the Small Retailers in Deprived Areas mini zone. This site has been set up to help answer questions about the Small Retailers in Deprived Areas Initiative, to give updates and to offer examples of successful projects.


When he launched the initiative in June 2001, John Denham, the then Home Minister with overall responsibility for crime reduction, said:

"Local shops are at the heart of our communities and when they close valuable local services are lost. It is important that every region receives help to tackle the crime and anti-social behaviour that blights shops in some of our most impoverished communities. By driving crime out we will be encouraging more people to shop locally, helping to restore pride and prosperity to our communities."
