WAA wins regeneration work

07th Apr 2008

WAA has completed an extensive website project for The North Solihull Partnership (NSP). The site - www.northsolihull.co.uk - was commissioned to host information on news on the partnership's 15-year regeneration project.

The project, which is one of the biggest regeneration programmes in the UK, will see £1.8 billion invested in housing, schools, facilities and the environment in three key North Solihull wards to improve the lives of 40,000 local people.

WAA has developed a website to help inform residents about why the project is happening and keep them up to date with its progress. The site includes information on the redevelopment project in addition to educational resources, a community page, and Kidzone, an area specifically targeted at the region's youngsters. WAA has been retained to host and maintain the website, and also developed a bespoke content management system which allows NSP to updates contents quickly and easily themselves.

Janet Bradbury, Chief Executive of North Solihull Partnership said: "Our brief was for a website that would act as a central hub for information on the North Solihull area. Because of the scale of the project, it's vital that the community, stakeholders and other interested parties are kept informed as they are integral to the success of this project. WAA has more than met our criteria and we're delighted with the end result."

Jacqui Lennon, Managing Director at WAA, commented: "This is a great project that has allowed us to put our specialist digital expertise into practise and at the same time, play a part in the improvement of a local community."
