Pride in Place weekly update - 9 February

This week we continued early engagement across the Pride in Place funded area. The team visited local businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to introduce the programme and begin initial conversations about local priorities.

We also carried out drive‑arounds of the area to build our understanding of local assets, challenges and opportunities. These visits are helping us identify suitable places for promotional materials and future engagement activity.

On 11 February, all schools within and around the funded area were contacted to raise awareness of Pride in Place and to let them know how they can get involved in the forthcoming consultation.
