UK launches Pride in Place to let communities block unwanted businesses and revive high streets.
The UK government’s new Pride in Place programme, unveiled by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, empowers communities across England to revitalize struggling high streets by blocking unwanted businesses like betting shops and vape retailers, and reclaiming vacant buildings through expanded rights.
Targeting over 330 communities, the initiative prioritizes local input and investment to combat regional inequality and economic decline, focusing on preserving pubs, libraries, and community spaces.
While the Betting and Gaming Council defends betting shops as community assets, the government aims to reduce their presence.
Local authorities welcomed the plan but stressed the need for fair, flexible funding and long-term support to ensure success.
