Another great achievement from Jonathan Brash MP for Hartlepool and our last Labour led council ๐น
๐ก TWO YEARS OF DELIVERING FOR HARTLEPOOL | PART 13
Over the next few days, Iโm looking back at some of the biggest milestones weโve achieved together since I was elected as your MP.
Todayโs story is about something that matters to every community: having pride in the place we call home.
๐ณ PUTTING PRIDE BACK INTO OUR NEIGHBOURHOODS
On 3 November 2025, we announced a ยฃ1.5 million Pride in Place Impact Fund, bringing immediate investment into our communities ahead of the wider ยฃ20 million Pride in Place funding secured for Hartlepool over the next decade.
The message was simple: every part of Hartlepool deserves investment, attention and the chance to thrive.
Working with local communities, weโve used this funding to deliver practical improvements that people can see and feel.
๐งน Neighbourhood clean-ups to tackle issues and make our streets look their best.
๐ค Community grants supporting local groups, charities and organisations doing brilliant work.
๐ช Business grants helping local businesses invest and grow.
๐ Investment in playgrounds creating better spaces for children and families.
Big regeneration projects matter, but so do the everyday things that make people proud of where they live.
This is about listening to residents, supporting local people and making sure communities have the tools they need to improve their own neighbourhoods.
Pride in Place is about one simple belief: Hartlepool deserves the very best and together we are building it.
Thank you to all the community groups, volunteers, businesses and residents who are helping make this happen.
Tomorrow, Iโll be sharing another milestone as we continue looking back at two years of delivery for Hartlepool.
๐ From Hartlepool. For Hartlepool.
