What is Pride in Place?

Pride in Place is a long-term government investment programme that supports local communities to shape improvements in the places they live. For Scarborough, this means up to £20 million of funding and support over 10 years.

The programme is guided locally by the Scarborough Neighbourhood Board, which brings together local people, businesses, community representatives and partners.

Scarborough has a 10-year regeneration plan and a first four-year investment plan. The first projects for this four-year period have now been selected, and the programme is moving into delivery.

This is only the first phase of a longer programme. Future priorities and projects will be shaped as Pride in Place continues, with residents kept updated and involved as plans develop.

Our journey so far

Timeline

Scarborough selected for long-term investment

01/10/2023 - 31/10/2023

Scarborough was selected as one of the towns to receive long-term government investment. This started the process of developing a plan for how funding could support local priorities over the next 10 years.

Let’s Talk Scarborough: listening to local priorities

01/04/2024 - 30/06/2024

The first major engagement phase took place through Let’s Talk Scarborough. Local people shared views through workshops, pop-up events, community conversations and an online interactive map. This helped identify the issues people wanted the programme to focus on, including the town centre, safety, transport, young people, families and public spaces.

Reviewing what people told us

01/07/2024 - 31/12/2024

The feedback from Let’s Talk Scarborough was reviewed and grouped into key themes. This helped build a clearer picture of what people wanted to see change in Scarborough.

Planning how local people would be involved
