The Pride in Place Neighbourhood Boards bring local people together to decide how investment is used to improve each of the areas over the next 10 years.
What does a Neighbourhood Board do?
The boards work with local residents, community groups, businesses and partners to:
- Listen to what matters most to local people
- Set priorities for the neighbourhood
- Decide how Pride in Place funding is spent
- Oversee projects and make sure they deliver real benefits
- Act in the best interests of the whole community
The board does not run services day to day – its role is to guide decisions, provide oversight and represent the community.
Each Neighbourhood Board comprises of a Chair, the local MP for the area, at least one local ward councillor and seven or more local people as Board Members.
What's happening now?
The Neighbourhood Boards have recently been established and met for the first time in August 2026. Board Members are currently undertaking an induction and onboarding process, helping them to develop their understanding of the Pride in Place programme, their roles and responsibilities, and the needs and opportunities within their neighbourhoods. Further information will be published shortly, including details of the Board Members and their next steps as they begin working with local residents and partners to help shape the future of their communities.
Neighbourhood Board Meetings
The Neighbourhood Boards are committed to operating in an open, transparent and accountable way. To support this, a range of governance documents have been developed to set out the Board's purpose, responsibilities, decision-making processes and expected standards of conduct.
