Up to £20m in funding over the next 10 years has been allocated and this will focus on two areas in North Lanarkshire - Coatbridge and Forgewood/North Motherwell.
The fund objectives are to:
- build stronger communities
- create thriving places
- empower people to take back control
Neighbourhood Boards are being established and supported to deliver regeneration plans for these areas.
Coatbridge:
- This is a ‘Phase 1’ Pride in Place area.
- Coatbridge will receive £19.5M in UK Government funding over 10 years, with the delivery phase due to start in April 2026.
- We have submitted a Regeneration Plan to the UK Government for approval, which will unlock four years of delivery phase funding. We’re expecting a decision in early March 2026.
