Moss Side and Whalley Range to get a £20 million regeneration package.
Residents of Moss Side and Whalley Range what would you do for your community if you got £20 million? Thanks to the Labour Government you no longer have to wonder as a massive regeneration package controlled by you is heading your way.
Moss Side and Whalley Range is getting £20 million of funding - part of Labour's Pride in Place programme
The Labour Government's Pride in Place programme is coming to parts of Moss Side and Whalley Range, bringing with it a decade's long commitment of funding to revitalise the area. That's money going back into the heart of your community - and would you like to know the best bit? You decide how that money is spent.
Whether you want more community centres, more funding for healthcare, more investment in your highstreets, or more alleyway gates – all you have to do is get involved!
Pride in Place is run by you. The programme gives power back to local people, bringing together neighbours and residents, businesses, community organisations, faith leaders, Manchester City Council, as well as myself, to steer the direction of the funding.
The first step is to select a chair and set up the Neighbourhood Board – a group of local leaders chosen by local people who will be at the heart of decision making. To tell me who you think should be on the board, or even to nominate yourself, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
I will also be hosting various community events to bring people together and get ideas heard. This page will be updated with the times and locations of events that I put on, so come back frequently to see if there’s an event coming up.
However, the best way to make sure you find out about them is to follow me on social media and sign up to my newsletter as I will post about upcoming events and add them to my monthly updates. You can follow the links at the bottom of this page to follow me on social media and sign up to my newsletter.
The programme is already well underway across the country, with nearly 250 areas across the UK already deciding how to spend £5 billion over the next 10 years. I can’t wait to hear from you and get started in Moss Side West.
