'Extracts from a talk given by Claire Jenkins (researcher and employee of the English DETR) at the Ormlie Home Zones Conference, November 1999 The DETR monitoring programme is trying to get as wide a range as possible and we've actually had one of the Home Zones which was very much community-led was in West Ealing which is not really a deprived area. It's an inner city area but it was actually relatively speaking fairly affluent compared to that there's a scheme in Northmore in Manchester which is a very deprived area. It's undergoing a large regeneration scheme at the moment. What we tried to get from our monitoring programme is what kind of measures will work best in what kinds of context and as far as that's concerned, we want to get as big a range as possible, not necessarily just in deprived areas because Home Zones, I think, are things that can work in all kinds of contexts. What we were talking about earlier as well about this coming directly from community groups, we received a total of 48 submissions, 47 were from local authorities and one was from a residents association. It was actually a very strong bid and we were only not able to take it forward to the pilot scheme because we felt that it didn't have the complete support of the local authority. Now because they have the responsibility for the majority of transport planning and provision, we can't accept a pilot scheme where the local authority might not feel themselves able to make the kind of changes to the road layout and so on that the residents are calling for so as far as that's concerned, there would ultimately have to be a very close partnership with a local authority.
