Coastal Communities Minister Jake Berry has announced that 16 'fast track’ coastal projects are receiving a share of £6 million to help deliver sustainable growth and jobs across the Great British Coast.
As part of the Coastal Communities Fund, the investment will aid the projects to create over 1,100 jobs and attract public and private sector co-funding of £2.4 million. The 16 ‘ready to go’ projects have been selected to start work to transform their coastal communities in 2018-2019 before the main round funding becomes available in April 2019.
Amongst the projects receiving funding, Access Fylde Coast will receive almost £1 million to boost tourism by improving the visitor experience for people with disabilities visiting the Fylde, Blackpool and Wyre coasts. The beneficiaries include a £900,000 grant to the Scarborough Construction Skills Village project to help tackle local unemployment and skills challenges and a £60,000 grant towards a project to refurbish St Hilda’s Pit Head in South Shields, transforming it into a community, cultural and heritage hub providing training, office, event and exhibition space.
Berry said: “It’s really exciting to see money from the Coastal Communities Fund help kick start these shovel ready projects, which have the potential to unlock the barriers to development and growth in our coastal communities. Investment in our seaside areas, through projects such as these, will provide nothing short of a New Deal for the Great British coast, creating thousands of jobs, training places and opportunities along the shore.”
Since 2012, the Coastal Communities Fund has awarded grants to 295 projects across the UK, totalling over £173 million.
