Upper Horfield’s Pride of Place Initiative: Residents and Partners Working Together for ChangeObjectives Bristol Community Housing Foundation (BCHF), a small, community based social landlord in north Bristol, UK established their Pride of Place Partnership in response to concerns raised by a number of tenants living in the association’s Upper Horfield estate about the rise in street litter after the regeneration of their estate. The Upper Horfield estate underwent significant regeneration of the housing stock between 1999 and 2007 which saw the eventual replacement of 450 failing prefabricated homes which had been blighted by concrete cancer. As the old homes started to become vacated and boarded up, the long process of assembling the necessary finances and local authority support for the regeneration began. Throughout this period, many of the tenants who remained in the area had to endure issues including high crime rates, arson and anti-social behaviour.
