UK Government Pride in Place Programme

Neighbourhood Board

The Sutherland Pride in Place programme neighbourhood board has now been appointed, marking an important milestone in the development of the programme. There was a strong level of interest in joining the Board, and the co-chairs had the difficult task of selecting members from a high-quality field of applicants.

The board brings together individuals with a wealth of knowledge and experience drawn from communities across Sutherland. Members have knowledge of many different backgrounds, ensuring a broad range of perspectives will help guide the programme and shape future investment.

The Board will help develop the Sutherland Pride in Place plan, including a long-term vision for Sutherland and investment priorities for the area. One of the boards initial priorities is to put in place a communications strategy for the programme, to ensure transparency and to let residents know about the priorities and next stages of the programme.
