Coastal Communities Minister Mark Francois recently gave his support to 4 new local teams that will help revive the East Midlands’ seaside towns and decide where investment goes.
The Government has provided more than £1 million to fund the new Coastal Community Teams to help bring jobs, growth and prosperity back to our beach towns and cities. The Teams – bringing together local business, councils and people – will help coordinate regeneration projects in their area and get the chance to shape the next wave of the successful Coastal Communities Fund, announced in the Budget.
Victoria said,
“I am pleased that our seaside towns are being given the recognition they deserve nationally by receiving this funding. I think it is right that Coastal Community Teams will help decide where the investment provided by Government goes because local people know best what is needed to grow their local economy.
I will support the Coastal Community team wherever possible and look forward to working with them to benefit residents of Mablethorpe and Sutton.”
