People who live or work in West Earlham and Bowthorpe can now help decide how £20 million of government funding gets used in their community.
The Pride in Place programme puts local people in charge of shaping change and setting priorities for the next decade.
A new West Earlham and Bowthorpe Neighbourhood Board will bring residents together to make those decisions. Anyone aged 16 or over who lives, works or volunteers in West Earlham or Bowthorpe can apply.
Board members will:
- listen to local people and bring their views into decisions
- help set a long‑term plan for the area
- agree how funding is used
- ensure spending is fair and transparent
- share their own ideas and experience
This is a real chance to influence the future of West Earlham and Bowthorpe.
If you care about the area, apply to join the Neighbourhood Board and help shape the next decade.
