Ignore dodgy neighbourhood (6)

I believe the answer is:

region

Here is my best explanation:

'neighbourhood' is the definition.

(thesaurus)

'ignore dodgy' is the subsidiary indication.

'dodgy' indicates an anagram.

'ignore' anagrammed gives 'region'.

This clue was last seen in The Telegraph

(Other definitions for region that I've seen before include "Area, location", "Area, domain", "Area, zone", "Area, territory", "Zone, area", "Wide area", "Ignore (anag) -- expanse of land", "Area having definable character", "Territory" and "Area, neighbourhood".)
