MP launches survey over how £20m of Government cash should be spent in Jordanthorpe, Batemoor and Lowedges
An MP called the Pride of Place money a “once in a generation oppourtunity”
An MP has launched a survey to give residents a say in £20m of Government cash to spruce up Batemoor, Jordanthorpe and Lowedges should be spent over the next 10 years.
The ‘Pride in Place’ money is a long-term Government funded programme to reportedly invest millions in the three south Sheffield regions.
MP for Sheffield Heeley Louise Haigh called it a “once in a generation opportunity” for local people to help shape the future of their community.
Neighbourhood boards will play a central role in deciding how the cash is used to do the most good and give residents bang for their buck.
A short survey is now open on Ms Haigh’s website for Sheffielders to say how they feel about their community and what projects and changes they want to see over the next ten years.
The survey will be open during the summer and closes on the 31st August.

MP Louise Haigh said: “I’m delighted that residents and the community will now have their say on what changes and improvements they want to see in their communities.
“This is a great opportunity for the community to shape their areas and what they want to see in the future. The success of this project will be dependent on having the local community at its heart.
“We have a great mix of local residents, community leaders and professionals on the board and I know that by working with the community, we can make real change to Batemoor, Jordanthorpe and Lowedges.
“I would encourage all residents to have their say and their voices heard.”
It comes after Kris Mackay was last week appointed chair of the Batemoor, Jordanthorpe and Lowedges neighbourhood board, with their first job being to gather suggestions for the money.
Kris Mackay said: "This is a chance for local people to own the story of their community. We want to hear the big, bold ideas that could shape the future, alongside the quick wins that can make a difference sooner, because both matter in creating lasting change.”
