Council welcomes £20m investment for Twerton
Bath & North East Somerset Council has welcomed the Government’s announcement that Twerton in Bath will receive £20m investment from its Pride in Place programme, which aims to empower local people to help build stronger communities and create thriving places.
Councillor Kevin Guy, Leader of Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “We welcome this great news for Twerton, which will give local people the opportunity to decide how £20m funding is invested in their neighbourhoods.
“The announcement builds on the amazing opportunities for economic growth in our region that were highlighted last week in the new and ambitious ten-year West of England Growth Plan which makes the case for more investment in our region, and I’m pleased Twerton has already been identified by the Government through Pride in Place.
“Our Economic Strategy for B&NES aims to unlock opportunity for everyone by delivering the infrastructure that neighbourhoods need to thrive, as well as investing in prevention across all services to tackle inequalities in local areas.
“We’ll be supporting our communities to bid for this new funding for projects that matter to them and we look forward to hearing from the Government on what the next steps will be, so we can help drive this positive change forwards.”
