Pride in Place Programme

 

 

Pride in Place is a newly announced initiative from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, set up to empower local communities, particularly in deprived areas, to take control of regeneration, high streets, public spaces and community assets. Two places have been selected in Plymouth – Devonport, Mount Wise and Morice Town and St Budeaux. Both places will receive up to £20 million, comprising both capital and revenue funding.

This decision will delegate authority for Plymouth City Council’s representation in all Pride in Place matters, enabling the Strategic Director of Growth to sign key documents and endorse governance arrangements, and Regeneration plans.
