Pride in Place: Shoeburyness

Good news for Shoeburyness - £20 million will be invested in the area over the next 10 years through the Pride in Place Fund. This is a Government plan allowing communities to spend the funding on what matters most to them - from improvements to pavements and high streets to investing in culture and green spaces - and make a long-term difference.

Local MP Bayo Alaba wants the community to lead the way in deciding how this money is spent.

A Survey Is Now Open

If you live in Shoeburyness, you can share your views. A short survey is now open for residents to:

• Say what matters most in their community

• Highlight areas that need improvement

• Help shape future investment

We've heard from many of you about concerns regarding health and care services - this could be your chance to influence how this money could make a difference.

A Community-Led Hall

One idea already raised by members of the Shoeburyness Residents Association is the need for a local, community-led hall.

This would help by:

• Reducing high hire costs

• Allowing more flexible meeting times

• Giving the community greater independence

• Making it easier to run events and activities

Many community groups currently face limits on cost, time, and oversight from external organisations.
