About MVMP

Meden Valley Making Places has come a long way in five years. Communities in and around the Meden Valley have been revitalised,   and local people are once more taking pride in where they live.

 

But we must not forget why MVMP was created. The local pit closures of the 1980s and early 1990s precipitated a dramatic decline in many neighbourhoods.  MVMP was established to reverse this, and to catalyse regeneration in association with local, regional and national partners. 

 

A not-for-profit public sector company, we are jointly owned by the Homes and Communities Agency, emda (East Midlands Development Agency), Bolsover District Council and Mansfield District Council. 

 

According to an independent interim evaluation report, MVMP continues to make significant strides forward.  Our achievements were rewarded this summer with renewed support from our funding partners – tremendous news which means we can continue our work until at least 2011.

 

Achievements:

 

• Masterplans were completed in each settlement with full community involvement and backing

• Compulsory Purchase Orders were confirmed using English Partnerships CPO powers – the first time these powers were successfully used

• Our ongoing commitment to maximising local training and employment opportunities continues to deliver impressive results

• We have acquired more than 600 properties and completed 134 refurbishments

• Refurbishment and restoration work at Creswell has been completed

• 34 of 35 new homes have been built at Whaley Thorns

• Building continues at Warsop Vale, Royal Estate in Warsop, Pleasley and Mansfield Woodhouse

• Comprehensive improvements to 115 properties have begun at New Houghton.
  
  
• Work commences shortly to Church Drive Shirebrook where 65 new homes are due to be built.

We have also been confirmed as the lead agency for the regeneration of Brownlow Road in Mansfield. This is the first time our work has extended beyond the original project area. In addition, we are actively pursuing work across surrounding districts with the support of the local authorities themselves and our Board.

 

Time has proven that MVMP can deliver on its core objectives, and communities remain at the heart of everything we do.

 

Thanks to the support of residents and the commitment of our partners, the Meden Valley is enjoying a deep-rooted transformation that is helping to assure its future.

 

The scheme covers eight settlements spanning the Bolsover District Council and Mansfield District Council areas.
