Boston Long Term Plan Progress Update

Last year, £20M in government funding was announced for Boston, to be invested around the themes of safety and security; high streets, heritage, and regeneration, and transport and connectivity. This builds on the multi-million pound funding previously announced for the town, that is currently being invested across a range of exciting projects. 

Over the last few months, Boston Town Board has been working hard to develop a long term plan for this funding in Boston.

Jo Brigham, Chair, Boston Town Board said: "At the heart of our work around the Long Term Plan for Towns has been consultation and engagement and we are delighted that we have heard feedback from many people on their aspirations, thoughts, and ideas for Boston. This has concluded through our survey which captured the views of 270 people, and we have also been grateful for the opportunity to speak to and listen to young people at dedicated events. In addition, we have been in close collaboration with members, stakeholders, and partners to understand what the priorities are for Boston. 

"With this extensive feedback, and the evidence for our town from government, we are developing a long term vision and three year investment plan that will make a tangible and meaningful difference for Boston. Originally the board was working towards a 1^st August deadline but this has now been moved; we are waiting for confirmation of our new timescale for submission.

"In the meantime, we will continue to progress the plan for Boston, and we look forward to sharing with you an update on this and the consultation and engagement findings in due course. Boston Town Board is committed to doing everything we can for our Brilliant Boston."
