Huge investment with locals to choose how money will be spent

MABLETHORPE TO GET SLICE OF 'PLAN FOR CHANGE' CASH

- BY LAYCIE BECK [e-mail]

MABLETHORPE is among several locations set to benefit from millions of pounds of investment. The government has announced a £5 billion Pride in Place programme, which will give local people across 339 neighbourhoods the chance to revive their high streets, parks and public spaces.

The seaside resort is among the areas set to receive up to £20m from the programme, which was announced at 6pm on Thursday, September 25.

Secretary of State for housing, communities and local government, Steve Reed added: "Building pride in place starts with people, not politics. Local people know what they want to see in their neighbourhoods - and they don't need government to dictate it.

"This plan will spark an historic grassroots movement that will restore local people's power, boost national pride and help people get on in life across the UK as part of our Plan for Change."
