Pride In Place Programme - Expression of Interest for Neighbourhood Boards
Pride in Place is a 10‑year, government‑funded programme investing £20 million into Crook North/Tow Law, £20 million into Peterlee East, and £20million into Stanley South to help regenerate neighbourhoods and strengthen local pride.
We’re establishing Neighbourhood Boards that will put local people at the heart of shaping their area’s future. Board members will work together to create a long‑term Regeneration Plan, in partnership with the council, reflecting community priorities and identifying opportunities for new investment.
The boards will bring together residents, local businesses, community leaders, workplace representatives, faith groups, and others with a strong connection to the area, alongside the local MP and ward councillors. Led by an independent chair, each board will champion its neighbourhood, make decisions about where funding is allocated, involve the wider community, and set out a shared vision for the next decade and beyond.
Applications to the Neighbourhood Board are open until 12 April 2026.
