Plan for Neighbourhoods

A new Long Term Plan for Hartlepool

What’s happening?

Hartlepool is one of 55 towns chosen by the Government to be part of the Plan for Neighbourhoods (previously called the Long Term Plan for Towns). This programme supports town centre regeneration by involving local people and organisations in shaping investment priorities.

The town will receive £20 million in funding over the next few years. This is in addition to money already secured through the Town Deal and Levelling Up Fund.

Who’s involved?

A new Town Board will be set up to lead this work. The board will:

• Create a shared vision for Hartlepool
• Develop an investment plan based on local priorities
• Use feedback from the Big Conversation and local data

The current Town Deal Board, which started in 2023, will continue to support the programme until the new board is in place.

Find out more about the Town Deal Board, its members and meetings.

What will the plan focus on?

The new plan will be shaped by local people and organisations. It will focus on three key themes:

• Safety and security
• High streets, heritage and regeneration
• Transport and connectivity
