[Falkirk, 03.10.2025] Falkirk MP Euan Stainbank has launched a community survey to give local people a direct say in how the UK Labour Government’s £21.5 million Pride in Place investment is spent in Falkirk.
The landmark funding package – secured after extensive campaigning by Mr Stainbank and his Falkirk Labour colleagues – will deliver £20 million over the next decade for regeneration projects in one Falkirk neighbourhood, alongside a further £1.5 million to support wider community improvements across the area.
The Pride in Place programme is designed to put decision-making into the hands of local residents rather than Whitehall or Westminster, giving communities the power to decide on priorities such as safer streets, new parking in the town centre, speed cameras to tackle dangerous driving, improvements to parks and green spaces, and new facilities for community and sporting groups.
Mr Stainbank said:
“This is one of the biggest investments Falkirk has ever seen – £21.5 million to reshape our community, restore local pride, and unlock new opportunities for everyone.
“What makes this funding different is that it’s not for Whitehall or Westminster to decide how it’s invested – it’s for people here in Falkirk to decide. I want every single penny to reflect the priorities of my neighbours in Falkirk, and that’s why I’m launched this survey.
“Whether it’s safer streets, better parking, tackling speeding, or creating new spaces for families and community groups or anything else that you believe this investment should be spent on: your voice matters. This is our chance to shape Falkirk’s future together.”
