Ryde Town Board
Ryde is one of 75 towns across the UK to benefit from the Government’s Long-Term Plan for Britain’s Towns initiative. It launched in September 2023 as part of the levelling up programme. Ryde will receive up to £20 million of government funding over the next decade.
The fund will be managed by a new Town Board. This board is led by an independent Chair and made up of local community leaders and employers.
The Town Board develops and oversees the delivery of a long-term town plan for Ryde. This plan has a 10 year vision and a 3 year investment plan. The investment themes are:
- Safety and security
- High streets, heritage and regeneration
- Transport and connectivity
The Isle of Wight Council is the accountable body for the government funds.
Ryde Town Council will provide administrative support for the Board.
