Pride in Place

Plans & Timescales

Neighbourhood Boards must co-create a Pride in Place Plan with the wider community, supported by the local MP and the local authority. The Plan will outline the community's vision for change over the next decade. Everyone will have an opportunity to have a say in the future of their area.

Neighbourhood Boards will carry out extensive engagement with the community to make sure that a diverse range of voices are heard in developing this plan and at every stage of the Programme.
