The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to consult with communities on the use of Pride in Place funding in Corby and East Northamptonshire constituency.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The community will decide how to invest £20m of Pride in Place funding in Corby Kingswood. A Neighbourhood Board made up of local people will come up with an investment plan for the future of their area.

This plan must evidence how they have consulted the wider community and we are bringing forward £150,000 of funding so they can get started now.
