THREE Lincolnshire towns are one step closer to each getting a £20 million investment.

- BY OLIVER CASTLE Local Democracy Reporter

The funding is part of the government’s Pride in Place Programme - the new name for a scheme first introduced by the then Conservative government in 2022 as part of its ‘levelling up’ agenda.

Boston, Skegness and Spalding are among the 75 ‘left behind’ towns across the country which have been awarded £20 million to spend over the next 10 years in a bid to revive their fortunes.

Boston Borough Council, East Lindsey District Council and South Holland District Council have all submitted their plans to the government to improve the towns over the next 10 years.

The government said its Pride in Place Programme aims to create thriving places, building strong communities and help communities “take back control of their own lives and own areas.”

Members of Boston Borough Council agreed its regeneration plan and vision for Boston at a special meeting on November 13.
