Liberal Democrat — Newbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 March 2025

Debate

Plan for Neighbourhoods

Contribution

The plan for neighbour-hoods prospectus published on the website earlier today talks about ending the “Whitehall knows best” culture. With that in mind, would the Minister look at the current allocation of 75% capital and 25% revenue, and if that split needed to be changed in a local area, would he consider doing that? In his statement, he said that this “is about giving communities autonomy and about people designing and delivering the change that they want to see.” I am sure that all communities in the UK would wish to have that autonomy, so how could the principle of neighbourhood boards be rolled out, even if the funding is not there to begin with?
