ABOUT PRIDE IN PLACE
A new deal for neighbourhoods like ours.
Raffles & Morton is one of 169 neighbourhoods chosen for the expanded Pride in Place Programme - a UK Government commitment of up to £5 billion into 250 places over the next decade. Locally, that means £20 million over ten years for Raffles & Morton, shaped together with residents and the people and organisations already doing good work here.
Pride in Place moves away from short-term funding pots and councils bidding against each other. It's long-term, hyper-local, and built with the people who live and work here.
Thriving places
Better public spaces and amenities we can all be proud of - shaped with the people who use them.
