en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 27th, The "Local Pride" plan developed by the Chadderton Neighborhood Committee in the UK will prioritize using funds to promote local economic growth. This will be achieved by providing grants to businesses and community groups, installing new CCTV to enhance security, upgrading public spaces and pedestrian crossings, and restoring the historic Foxdenton Hall. This community regeneration plan will also include targeted investments in youth services and initiatives that celebrate local pride. The plan was previously developed through extensive engagement via workshops, focus groups, surveys, and creative meetings, where residents emphasized safer streets, stronger youth services, support for local businesses, and more inclusive community spaces as top priorities.
The "Local Pride" community regeneration plan will ensure that as projects progress, people continue to influence decision-making. The improvements are designed to benefit streets, parks, cultural and community facilities, as well as heritage assets. In addition to the Chadderton funding, the government has allocated an extra £20 million to the Alt community as part of its "Local Pride" strategy to create safer, more capable, and more resilient communities. This community regeneration project will enhance the quality of life and community vitality in the area through various means.
Councillor Arooj Shah, Leader of Oldham Council, said: "I am absolutely delighted for the residents of Chadderton and look forward to seeing how the plans develop. This investment is a major milestone for the town and a real show of confidence in Oldham overall. It is particularly exciting that local residents will be at the heart of shaping the future development process. This is just part of a wider transformation happening across the borough, with £20 million of funding earmarked for Alt, and of course the £450 million regeneration plan for Oldham town centre. We are building a more confident Oldham, an Oldham where external investment is increasing, opportunities are growing, and residents are starting to feel the change in their everyday lives."
