Developing Coalfields Communities examines the impact of the UK government's investment in Warsop Vale, a village in Nottinghamshire, UK, which has starkly emphasized the negative consequences of coalfield decline. Based on over 100 in-depth interviews between 1998 and 2003, the report provides a revealing insight into the often frustrating but ultimately fruitful attempts by residents and professionals to ensure government policy worked to the community's advantage. The report: adopts a rarely-used longitudinal approach to understanding the effects of community decline and regeneration, provides a novel and much-needed assessment of the impact of government regeneration measures at the level of community, and emphasizes crucial lessons for best practice regarding the development and empowerment of de-industrialized communities.
