What is Pride in Place?
Pride in Place is a UK Government programme that aims to support communities to decide what investment is needed most in their area.
In Maryport South, local residents, community organisations, businesses and partners are working together to create a Community Investment Plan. The plan will guide investment over the next decade and focus on priorities identified through local engagement.
The programme is about listening first and ensuring local voices help shape future decisions.
