Call for more investment to tackle disadvantaged areas across city

There's a call for more investment to tackle disadvantaged areas across the city.

At City Hall this week, councillors discussed a new economic and community development strategy for the next six years.

Several councillors noted that in terms of community development, the ending of the RAPID programme in recent years was a major blow.

RAPID stands for "Revitalising Areas through Planning, Investment and Development" and saw national funding channeled into the most disadvantaged areas.
