About the opportunity for Skegness
- The Plan for Neighbourhoods is a 10-year, government-backed investment programme to support the regeneration of towns and neighbourhoods through long-term, change led by local communities.
- The programme’s three main aims are to: help create thriving places, build stronger communities, and allow local people to take back control over their area’s future.
- 75 places have been chosen to be part of the programme and will receive up to £20 million over a 10-year period.
- Skegness has been chosen as a neighbourhood that will receive Plan for Neighbourhood Funding.
- Now, Skegness Neighbourhood Board is seeking expressions of interest for projects which could be included in the plan that the Board is coming up with for Skegness, based on feedback from the community
- This is the first stage of a process to choose projects. There’ll be more work before any projects are finalised and included in the plan.
- This is not a one off opportunity, we will be seeking project ideas throughout the 10 year period of the Plan for Neighbourhoods programme.
