The UK Government’s Plan for Neighbourhoods will empower local people to take back control of their future with a long-term, flexible funding pot of up to £20 million of funding and support over the next 10 years.
75 places across Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have been selected to receive funding through the Plan for Neighbourhoods.
In Wales Barry, Wrexham, Rhyl, Cwmbrân and Merthyr Tydfil will receive the funding.
The Plan for Neighbourhoods has at its core a partnership between the Neighbourhood Board and local government, supported by the UK Government. This partnership will drive growth by improving the physical and social infrastructure of their community and deliver tangible improvements to the everyday lives of these communities.
The board, working with the local authority, is responsible for producing a 10-year Regeneration Plan for their area, setting out the activity that will be pursued to achieve the 3 strategic objectives of this programme:
- thriving places
- stronger communities
- taking back control
Important dates:
- 22 April 2025: Neighbourhood Boards confirm finalised membership and any proposals to alter their place boundaries.
- Spring 2025 to winter 2025: Neighbourhood Boards submit their Regeneration Plan to Ministry of Housing, Communities &Local Government for assessment and approval.
- From April 2026: Programme delivery funding released to local authorities, and delivery phase begins.
