Neighbourhood Boards will co-develop a Pride in Place Plan with the community, outlining their vision for change over the next decade, and how they will use their funding to achieve their goals.
The Plan will need to be to supported by Investment Plans that will be developed over the course of the programme. Investments Plans will set the interventions the Board would like to pursue over a set period (i.e. 4-years) and how that activity delivers across the strategic objectives of the Pride in Place programme.
To simplify processes, MHCLG have produced a list of ‘indicative interventions’ that they are happy to be included in Pride of Place Plans without Boards having to seek additional approvals. Communities can collectively decide to do something different, but they will be required to prepare a business case.
Plans must reflect local people’s priorities and developed through meaningful community engagement activities.
