The Brighton estate of Hollingdean has poverty and deprivation at levels among the worst in the South-East.
But it has never achieved the attention given to other parts of the city such as Moulsecoomb and Whitehawk.
All that is ending with a series of measures by the city council and other organisations aimed at helping Hollingdean.
Sure Start and the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund will together provide a fine centre for children and other amenities such as a skate park and better football pitches.
Street wardens have been appointed and the community centre has been given a facelift to make it inviting.
Now it's up to the people of Hollingdean to make the most of what they have got and create a real community spirit.
