Have your say – Hucknall Pride in Place

Share your views on how £20million Pride in Place funding should be spent in Hucknall for a chance to win a £50 gift card. 

The quick survey is the first stage of the process for Hucknall’s 10-year funding. The responses will help provide ideas for projects and initiatives which we will then undertake a second survey for. The most supported will then be worked into proposals that can be further developed and approved by the new Hucknall Neighbourhood Board. 

The survey is the chance for residents to make their voices heard, by letting the Neighbourhood Board know what really matters to the people who live, work, and play in Hucknall. 

Projects must fit into one of the government’s three themes: 
•    Creating Thriving Places - making Hucknall a better place to live, work and visit.
•    Building Stronger Communities - helping people feel connected, supported and proud of Hucknall.
•    Local Voice and Control - giving residents more say in local decisions and priorities.

The survey is available on the Council’s website until 18 September 2026, or completed paper copies will be available at 
•    Hucknall Leisure Centre, Linby Road
•    Under One Roof, Vine Terrace
•    Hucknall Family Hub (formerly Butlers Hill Children's Centre), Broomhill Road
•    Hucknall Library, South Street
•    St Peter & St Paul's Church, Ruffs Drive

The Hucknall Pride in Place fund is 63% Capital funding (which can be used to improve, or build, new buildings and community facilities, as an example) and 37% Revenue funding (which can be used to pay for services, running costs, resources and voluntary groups, as examples).

Chair of the Neighbourhood Boad, Paddy Tipping, said

“This is a great opportunity for Hucknall and its residents. Their views are vital in deciding how best to use this new money. 
“I know there are lots of ideas out there so please submit them as soon as possible. Working together we can make a real difference.”

Vice-Chair, Rachael Burn, commented

“I would encourage anyone who lives and/or works in Hucknall to have their say. Hucknall is a wonderful town, with great people and enormous potential. I look forward to hearing from our community about what matters most to them and working together to shape a positive vision for Hucknall’s future." 

Cllr John Wilmott, Ward Councillor for Hucknall North, said

“We are encouraging everyone in Hucknall to complete this survey to make sure that their priorities are heard. This funding is a huge opportunity for Hucknall and we want to make sure this investment is spent in the places that really need it." 

Roles within the Neighbourhood Board and focus groups are currently being considered by the Chair, Paddy Tipping, and the Vice-Chair, Rachael Burn, after an open call for applications from interested people in July. Successful applicants will be contacted in the coming weeks with the first board meeting due to take place in early September.
