The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what guidance her Department provides to Neighbourhood Boards in Scotland to ensure local communities can effectively maximise Pride in Place funding.

Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has published guidance on GOV.UK here to support delivery of the Pride in Place Programme. The Government has set up a designated Communities Delivery Unit, sitting within MHCLG, which provides direct ongoing support to local authorities, MPs and Neighbourhood Boards. The Government is also establishing a Network for Neighbourhoods across the UK, which will help areas to build connections and share learning, and give Neighbourhood Boards access to expertise and support.
