In October 2023, Kilmarnock was awarded £20 million through the UK Government Long-Term Plan for Towns, a core part of the broader levelling up programme, now called the ‘Pride in Place Programme’.

The three strategic objectives of the programme are:

  • thriving places
  • stronger communities, and
  • taking back control

A Pride in Place Plan was submitted by the Kilmarnock Neighbourhood Board (We Make Kilmarnock) to the UK Government at the end of November 2025.

On 23 March 2026, notification was received from the UK Government that the Pride in Place Plan for Kilmarnock had been endorsed and the Board could start planning for delivery.
