The government's Pride in Place Programme will see up to £5 billion given to nearly 250 areas across the UK. Each area will receive up to £20 million of funding and support over the next 10 years to make long-term improvements that residents want.
With Pride in Place, residents, businesses, and community groups will deliver real improvements that matter to local people. This is led by local people and backed by the UK government.
Communities will be able to spend the funding on what matters most to them - from improvements to pavements and high streets to investing in culture and green spaces.

Pride in Place: Who decides where the funding goes?
The Pride in Place Programme gives power to local people and partnerships, bringing together residents, the local MP, the council, businesses and community organisations to decide how they would like to shape their area.

Each of the nearly 250 areas receiving this money will form a 'Neighbourhood Board'. These boards will put local people at the centre of defining their area's future, bringing together residents, local businesses, grassroots campaigners, workplace representatives, faith leaders, and community organisations.
Involving their community, the board should generate a vision for the future of their area and set out a pathway to deliver that over the course of the 10-year programme (and beyond).
Hear about some of the areas which will benefit from this programme
Bentilee and Ubberley
Bentilee sits on the edge of Stoke-on-Trent and is home to around 13,000 people. The area hasn't always received the funding it needs, but the community has many ideas for how to change things for the better.
We heard from local minister Malcolm Mycock, about what their priorities are for funding in their neighbourhood.
"Bentilee has got lovely green areas. I'd like to see some of these developed for young families, and kids. They need areas which are clean and tidy, places they want to go and be and spend time.
"I'm hoping with this money, there is going to be a real impact on the people who live here."
