Estate Regeneration Handbook
The housing justice Regenerate Estate Regeneration Handbook is a unique travel brochure with stories of hope, where residents have transformed their estates and communities, and will welcome other residents to visit them, and hear first hand how it was done.
The handbook is available to download on this webspage either as one document or section by section. The 16,000 copy print run of the Handbook has been distributed so paper copies are no longer available.

We have been asked to point out that Crimestoppers deal solely with reports of crimes are so are unable to take calls on anti-social behaviour as page 70 of the Handbook (and in the Crime Prevention section above) suggests as this, in itself, is not criminal behaviour. Reports of anti-social behaviour should be addressed to the local authority or housing association responsible for the estate.
