Your Neighbourhood, Your Plan

We’ve done it! We’ve secured £20 million long-term investment – £2 million per year over ten years – for Mirehouse, Kells, Woodhouse, Greenbank and Sandwith through Labour’s Pride in Place programme.

We’ve spoken to hundreds of local people over the last year and I know how angry you feel that it seems like your community has been forgotten. I’m not blind to it and I share your anger. And I’ve been working for months to do something about it.

This investment will make a real difference. It will:

Support projects that create jobs and opportunities locally
Improve community facilities, sports clubs, youth services and green spaces
Strengthen the organisations and groups that bring our community together

I fought hard in Parliament to make sure Whitehaven was included in this programme, and I’m proud to be delivering for our area.

But this is just the beginning. The real question now is: how should this money be spent to make the biggest impact for you, your family, and your neighbours?

This needs to be community-led. Who are the community leaders or organisations you think should be involved in driving forward any Neighbourhood Plan? Provide a name and organisation if applicable and I’ll track them down if we don’t know them already!
