Forgewood, North Motherwell and Motherwell Town Centre have been awarded up to £20 million in funding from the UK Government's Pride in Place Programme to develop and deliver a Pride in Place Plan, setting out a vision for the area over the next ten years.
We are the accountable body for the Pride in Place Programme funding in Motherwell and are working with the local MP to establish a Neighbourhood Board, which has responsibility for developing the Pride in Place Plan and overseeing its delivery through Investment Plans.
