The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what mechanisms his Department has put in place to ensure that communities are consulted on the use of Pride in Place funding in Worsley and Eccles constituency.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The community will decide how to invest £20m of Pride in Place Funding in Peel Green. A Neighbourhood Board led by an Independent Chair and made up of local people will come up with a plan for this investment and they must engage their wider community.

We have brought forward £150,000 of funding for Peel Green, and all neighbourhoods in Phase Two of the programme, so they can kickstart this engagement now.
