Thriving Places

This theme focuses on the regeneration and improvement of local communities across the UK, emphasising the importance of revitalising neglected high streets, estates and town centres to meet the evolving needs of residents. It advocates for greater community involvement in the design and development of these areas to ensure that they reflect the habits, desires and requirements of local people. The goal is to create vibrant, well-equipped neighbourhoods with a range of local amenities and strong physical infrastructure.

In addition to community regeneration, the theme highlights the need for accessible and responsive public services, such as healthcare, social care, education and youth services, tailored to the specific needs of each area.

Stronger Communities

This theme is about improving the sense of community in areas that have become divided or neglected over time. The goal is to help local leaders rebuild relationships between residents, so people feel safer, more connected, and proud of their neighbourhood. By bringing people together and improving trust within communities, it can have a positive impact on things like education, safety, and even the economy.

Taking Back Control

This theme is about making sure that everyone has equal opportunities, no matter where they live or their background. While talent is spread across the country, not everyone has the same chances to succeed, especially for those who are struggling financially or facing long waits for services. The aim is to ensure that children, no matter where they are born, have the same opportunities for a good future and adults have the ability to live the life they want.

The goal is to help people gain the skills they need for new jobs, especially as the country shifts to net zero and support those who want to start their own businesses. By empowering people to get into work, grow in their careers, and help businesses expand, this will help local economies thrive. The programme also wants to give people more control over how their communities are shaped, allowing them to have a voice in decisions that affect them.
