This significant funding comes as part of phase two of the government’s Pride in Place programme, aimed at strengthening community resilience and integration across 169 UK neighbourhoods. Bridgwater South, covering much of the Hamp neighbourhood and adjacent areas around the Meads eco-park, is the sole beneficiary within Somerset Council’s jurisdiction. The area’s high ranking on the national index of deprivation, especially regarding amenities and quality of life, prompted central government to select it for this initiative.https://somersetdaily.co.uk/20-million-investment-to-revitalize-deprived-bridgwater-community-in-somerset/Mon, 20 Apr 2026 04:40:00 +0000https://somersetdaily.co.uk/20-million-investment-to-revitalize-deprived-bridgwater-community-in-somerset/Bridgwater residents are being encouraged to propose community projects to benefit from a substantial £20 million investment over the next decade.
