Our Place! Programme
On July 9 2013, Don Foster, Minister for Communities, announced a £4.3m package of support for neighbourhoods to take their future into their own hands. This follows a successful year-long pilot programme, which saw neighbourhoods across the country working out how to improve the lives of local residents.
Expansion of the 'Our Place' programme builds on the Neighbourhood Community Budget Pilots that have helped change local service provision in 12 areas over the past four years. The 12 pilots range from inner cities and suburbs, to housing estates and small towns. They have seen the public, private and voluntary sectors working together to tackle issues of concern to local residents.
The extra funding could see at least 100 communities deliver local services that focus on local priorities and reduce costs. To find out more, visit the website at: http://mycommunityrights.org.uk/ourplace/
