Pride in Place Woodside, Brookside and Sutton Hill
£30 million has been secured for Woodside, Brookside and Sutton Hill over the next 10 years.
What happens next is being shaped by the people who know these communities best.
The 10-year vision and four-year investment plan are being developed together with residents, communities and local organisations.
The ideas, priorities and aspirations shared through this process will help shape how the funding is used, with no decisions yet made on future spending.
People who live and work in the area, community organisations, businesses, local partners and the community Board made up of residents, are helping to decide what matters most and where and how the money should be spent.
It could be safer neighbourhoods, better facilities, more opportunities for young people, cleaner streets, stronger community connections, or something else entirely.
Shaping the future together
Pride in Place brings everyone together to explore ideas, share experiences and build a picture of what people want for their area.
People are talking about:
