Ribbleton funding welcomed – and already ideas for where it could go

There has been no confirmation on how where to spend the funding will be decided - other than 'being done by communities who have skin in the game' according to the Prime Minister.

Leader of Preston City Council, Labour's Matthew Brown, said: "We welcome the announcement of this funding for Preston and specifically Ribbleton, an area known for pockets of deprivation.

"For the first time, significant funding will be available on a very local level where communities will decide how the funding is spent, led by the people who know their neighbourhood and what will make the biggest difference.
