Neighbourhood boards

The Pride in Place programme empowers local people to shape their neighbourhood. Learn how resident-led boards work to deliver change.

Local residents know what changes their area needs. That's why communities lead the delivery of this programme. Decision making sits directly with local people, giving them the power to shape their future.

How the board works

A resident-led board listens to the community, makes plans and decides how funding is used to improve their area. To ensure they represent the community, neighbourhood boards bring together:

• residents and grassroots campaigners
• councillors and MPs
• local businesses and workplace representatives
• faith and community leaders 

Liverpool City Council is accountable for ensuring that public funds are spent fairly, effectively and correctly.

Leading the board

An independent chair leads each board, appointed by Liverpool City Council and the local MP.

The role of the chair:

• Champions the area and local people.
• Organises engagement to ensure the community leads on decisions.
• Oversees recruitment and convening of the board.
