40 communities selected for Pride in Place
40 more communities have been selected for the Pride in Place programme.
Neighbourhoods are set to receive up to £20 million over the next decade to support locally-led solutions.
The 40 new neighbourhoods join 244 already taking part.
Communities Secretary Steve Reed said: "Across the country, people step outside their front door and feel like there is nothing for them: no sense of belonging, no investment in their area, no feeling that anyone is listening.
"Pride in Place backs these people and puts the tools and the money directly in their hands to change that, because strong communities aren’t built for people, they’re built by them.
"These new neighbourhoods are joining a movement that is bringing people closer together, and this government is backing them to do it."
