A trio of new community minibuses are set to hit the road across Clacton, Jaywick Sands, and Holland-on-Sea thanks to this grant scheme.
Tendring Community Transport, Harwich Connexions, and Clacton-based youth support charity UTurn4Support have successfully applied for a combined total of more than £180,000 from Tendring District Council (TDC).
The three minibuses will help local residents – including young people facing challenges – get to school, health appointments, and access vital support services.
The Community Regeneration Partnership (formerly the Levelling Up Partnership) was awarded £20million in funding from what is now the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
Projects were identified by civil servants as part of a deep-dive in January 2024, based on strategic planning such as the Love Clacton vision and Jaywick Place Plan.
The aim is to provide place-based regeneration in Clacton and Jaywick Sands.
A number of these projects are being led by Essex County Council.
