Narrow the gap, not eradicate it. Total and absolute equality in all measures is improbable if not impossible.
There are things that can be done. I would say our council has a very poor approach to regeneration. It's led to a rather piecemeal picture. The neighbourhood management schemes are starting to make a difference but often in conflict with rather than in conjunction with the council. Not taking seriously the need for affordable housing and allowing ghettoisation of social housing. There are councils that do this stuff a lot better than us :P
Narrowing the gap is possible. But it takes a little more focus and will than we seem to be giving it.
