Major government funding is coming into Mablethorpe over the next ten years – and local people are at the very heart of deciding how this money should be spent.
Through the government’s Pride in Place programme, Mablethorpe is set to receive £20M in funding, starting in 2027.
This funding is all about giving local people power to make Mablethorpe a stronger, thriving place.
The funding will be overseen by a Neighbourhood Board that is being set up, and more than half of those members will be from the local community.
And, starting right now, we’re asking local people to help to shape the plans for this investment: have your say today for Mablethorpe’s exciting future.
The Mablethorpe Neighbourhood Board want to hear your thoughts and ideas for the area, have your say today:
What’s Mablethorpe Pride in Place all about?
Mablethorpe is set to receive £20M in government funding as part of the Pride in Place programme. This programme has been set up with three aims – to support stronger communities, to create thriving places, and to help people take back control.
What can the money be spent on?
What the funding will be spent on in Mablethorpe will be decided with local people but it should be used for projects and activties that come under these themes:
- The Town Centre
- Housing, and helping people who are experiencing homelessness
- Getting work and the skills needed for jobs
- Bringing the community together
- Community power, helping people get involved and make decisions
- Health and wellbeing
- Transport, and getting around town
- Safety and security
- Learning and having access to opportunities
These themes are broad which means we can come up with varied and different projects for the funding – but what will be most important of all is that the money is invested in things the community wants.
63% of the funding has to be spent on capital projects, so physical projects, whilst the rest – 37% – can be spent on revenue projects, meaning activities that involve people.
Programme Investment Boundary
The geographic investment boundary includes the Mablethorpe Town Council boundary and extends to include a wider area including Sutton on Sea, Trusthorpe and Sandilands to form a recognisable and contiguous boundary for the long-term investment strategy.
Within this boundary particular regard will be given to the balance of investment within, between and across the distinct neighbourhoods of the boundary area to ensure investment creates a broad-based platform for regeneration of all places and communities within it.
Where can the funding be spent?
When will the funding start?
What do we have to do for the funding?
Who will oversee this funding?
The Mablethorpe Neighbourhood Board will collectively lead on the development and delivery of the Pride in Place Plan. The Board will be responsible for deciding how funding will be spent, bringing together local people and those with a deep connection to the area such as residents, local businesses, workplace representatives, faith and community leaders and other relevant organisations. The Chair and Board will work in partnership with Victoria Atkins, MP and the local authority to develop a Plan for the local area and distribute funding to the projects to deliver on this vision.
