Launched in September 2024, the Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods will review the current state of neighbourhoods across England. 

It will rigorously examine the role of neighbourhoods in people’s lives, quantifying and qualitatively exploring the case for neighbourhood focused regeneration as a contribution to achieving wider social and economic objectives. The Commission will also establish ‘what works’ by drawing on both international and domestic evidence, with a particular focus on the most deprived and ‘left behind’ communities.

Individuals and organisations are invited to contribute evidence to the Commission responding to the question(s) below. The window for submissions will be open until the end of 2024.

Submit evidence
