Earlier this year The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) selected Peterborough to receive up to £40m of Pride in Place funding to support regeneration in the city.The programme gives neighbourhood boards control of up to £2m every year for the next 10 years, to be spent on projects that will make a real difference to the areas they live - locally led by those who know their communities best.The city MPs and council appealed for applicants to chair the two new Neighbourhood Boards in Peterborough, and appointed Jonathan Jelley MBE JP to chair the Paston, Gunthorpe and Welland Board, and Ejaz Moghul to chair the Orton Malborne and Goldhay Board.We spoke to the duo about their first few months in the roles; the formation of the boards, what they want to achieve, how they report their progress; and how they're getting their communities involved.More information can be found here:https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/council/planning-and-development/regeneration/peterborough-pride-in-place-programmeThis podcast is hosted in collaboration with The Comms Smith (Pauline Smith) - we're sharing stories about why Peterborough is a great place to live, work and play: https://www.commssmith.comWe're always looking for interesting guests to tell their Peterborough story - email us at peterboroughpodcast@gmail.com
