The paper analyses the impact of the Government Housing Market Renewal (HMR) programme in the UK. It focuses on Burnley, East Lancashire, and on the inner-city neighbourhood of Burnley Wood. The aim of the programme was to rebalance the housing market in places suffering shrinkage. The intention was to renew failing housing markets and reconnect them to regional markets, to improve neighbourhoods and to encourage people to live and work in these areas. One of these was East Lancashire and the author visited Burnley, one of its principal towns, in 2005, as part of a CABE study. The paper describes the Pathfinding policy, the actions being taken and the community's reaction. The author recently returned to Burnley and spoke to some of the same people reported in 2005. This paper documents what has been achieved in the past 7 years.
