The guidance states that it is for neighbourhoods to decide how to prioritise funding, based on extensive community engagement, across three core objectives:

• to build stronger communities - all places should have strong relationships and a collective sense of belonging to their community. This helps bring people together to build community cohesion and resilience, helping people to feel proud of their area and safe in their neighbourhood
• to create thriving places - every part of the UK deserves to have vibrant neighbourhoods and communities with busy high streets, a good range of local amenities and high-quality physical infrastructure
• to empower people to take back control - talent is spread equally but opportunity is not. Everybody should be empowered and in control of their lives and have a say over the future of their community 

The funding has been allocated for Bewbush.

A Neighbourhood Board (which will be set up) is responsible for determining any spending. Our role will likely be that of an accountable body (acting as the 'bank' for the funding) and delivery body of some of the individual projects.

The guidance says "they should bring together residents, local businesses, grassroots campaigners, workplace representatives, faith, the local MP and community leaders and those with a deep connection to their area. Involving their community, the board should generate a vision for the future of their area and set out a pathway to deliver that over the course of the 10-year programme (and beyond), considering opportunities to attract and combine new and existing private, public, and philanthropic funding streams."

The Neighbourhood Board will be led by an independent chair, appointed by the local authority in conjunction with the local MP. The chair should act as a champion for the place and provide leadership for the board, making sure it is community-led and embedded within the local area.

The Neighbourhood Board must include the relevant local MP and at least one ward councillor.
