  • Pride in Place Programme: co-created local plans and participatory delivery 2025
    UK Government

    The programme prospectus directs local boards to engage communities from the start, build on existing local assets, and use participatory approaches such as co-production workshops, participatory budgeting, residents’ panels, and citizens’ juries.

    The approach is designed to make plans co-owned, improve local fit, and give communities an ongoing role in scrutiny and delivery rather than one-off consultation.
