The Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) was announced on 4 November 1993. Under its provisions 20 government programmes were brought together. The Secretary of State for the Environment was responsible for the SRB with oversight being exercised by the Ministerial Committee on Regeneration (EDR).
The SRB formally commenced in April 1994. Its objective was to support social and physical regeneration and economic development and to improve the industrial competitiveness of firms. It was to do this primarily by filling the gaps in the main programmes where they were not sufficiently flexible to tackle the particular regeneration needs of an area.
The Cities Policy and Co-ordination Division (CPCD) was set up shortly after this and the CPCD prefix appeared in 1995. The role of the CPCD was policy and programme management on the SRB (including City pride) and liaison with the sponsoring Ministers, transfer arrangements for incoming programmes to the SRB and management of continuing programmes. The Division was also responsible for policy on the financial regime, monitoring and evaluation of the SRB.
On the creation of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) in 1997 the Division was merged into the new Regeneration Division. Files ceased to be raised in the CPCD prefix in 1998.
