Frequently asked questions
What will Pride in Place do in Hattersley?
Pride in Place is here to support a new phase of long‑term regeneration by:
- building on past investment in homes, transport, public spaces, and community facilities
- supporting improvements to everyday places
- helping local people shape priorities for the next decade
- Making sure funding reflects what matters most to the Hattersley community
How is Pride in Place different from previous regeneration programmes?
Earlier regeneration in Hattersley was led through long‑term partnerships between organisations such as Tameside Council, Onward Homes, and Homes England.
Pride in Place marks a shift to a community‑led approach, with a new local Board playing the key role in shaping plans and investment decisions.
What is the Pride in Place Hattersley Board?
The Pride in Place Hattersley Board is a community‑led board, with:
- most members living or working in Hattersley
- an Independent Chair
- a focus on representing local voices
Supported by feedback to be gathered from the local community in Hattersley, the Board will help shape a long‑term Regeneration Plan and Investment Strategy, guiding how the £20m funding is used.
What does the board do?
The board will:
- bring together residents, community voices and partners
- help agree local priorities
- shape plans and projects over the next ten years
- champion Hattersley and its future
Who is the Independent Chair?
The Independent Chair of the Hattersley Pride in Place Board is Laura Nicholas. She will:
- lead and support the board
- ensure meetings are inclusive and fair
- Help bring together different views
- Act as a champion for Hattersley
The Chair is independent and focused on what is best for the community, not on representing any single organisation.
Who are the Board members?
The Neighbourhood Board members are people who:
- live, work or have a strong connection to Hattersley
- care about the area and its future

When will projects start?
The Board will work with residents to develop a long-term Neighbourhood Plan and Investment Strategy. Once priorities have been agreed and approved, funding can begin to support projects and activities that benefit the community.
