Purpose

Leigh is one of
75 towns which will receive an allocation of a £20 million
funding and support, to invest over the next decade, from the
Government’s Plan for Neighbourhoods Fund (PfN).

It aims to put decision making into the hands of local people
to decide priorities and make towns places where people and
businesses want to invest, creating new jobs and breathe new life
into high streets and town centres.

The funding and activity is overseen by the Leigh
Neighbourhood Board, which has draw up their town’s
regeneration plan for the next 10 years. The plan will focus on
long-term strategic transformation as well as shorter-term
improvements, in actions and activity related to three strategic
objectives:

• Thriving Places
• Stronger Communities
• Taking Back Control
