It has been confirmed today that Joanna McNicholas has been appointed as the independent Chair for Redbridge & Millbrook West Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board.
Applications have also opened for local people to apply to be members of the Neighbourhood Board.
The Pride in Place programme is a ten-year initiative focused on supporting communities to shape priorities for investment and improvement in their neighbourhoods. With £20 million to spend over the ten-year period, the Neighbourhood Board in Redbridge will be established to provide resident‑led investment decisions based on a co‑produced Pride in Place Plan for each area.
Neighbourhood Boards will bring together residents, businesses, grassroots organisations, community and faith groups, alongside local public sector partners, to help shape a shared vision for their area and agree priorities for future investment. Board membership is voluntary.
Applications for Neighbourhood Board membership are open until 11.59pm on Sunday 3rd May. Further information about the role, eligibility criteria and how to apply is available here.
