Pride in place Castleford

Castleford has been awarded £20 million as part of the first phase of Pride in Place funding. This will be provided by the UK Government over a ten-year period.

This £2 million a year can help improve all sorts of things in Castleford. This includes things like

community centres
parks
local facilities
streets
public spaces

It can also support projects that help people and bring the community closer together.

Castleford has a proud history stretching all the way back to Roman times. It’s always played an important role in the district. But regeneration isn’t just about celebrating the past. It’s about looking forward and creating a bright future. We want today’s residents, and future generations to be proud of their town.

That’s why we want local people to help shape how this money is spent.

The Government will provide funding in instalments. We want you to be part of the decision-making process - right from the start.

We’ll be running some face-to-face drop-in sessions where you can come along and share your thoughts. Tell us what matters to you and help shape how this money is spent.

These sessions will be held locally, and everyone is welcome to be part of the conversation.

We will be sharing details of dates, times and venues once these have been confirmed.
