Manchester’s Neighborhood Revival Chairs Announced

Manchester’s getting $100 million over ten years to revitalize key neighborhoods through the Pride in Place Scheme — residents call the shots. Four areas already locked in: Benchill South/Wythenshawe Central, Clayton Vale, Gorton South, and Harpurhey South/Monsall — each getting up to $20 million. New neighborhood board chairs named, chosen for deep local roots and bold visions: Eamonn O’Neal (Benchill/Wythenshawe), Jo Sharples (Gorton) for regeneration ripple effects, Andrew Wickens (Clayton Vale) championing equity, and Tom Woodcock (Harpurhey) with decades of community experience. Council leader Bev Craig calls it a once-in-a-generation chance — and a fifth area, Moss Side West, is coming soon. This isn’t top-down — it’s community-led transformation.
