Residents invited to help decide potential projects and priorities for Clacton town centre

Residents, business owners and community groups can help shape the future of Clacton town centre by sharing their views on projects identified as part of a new culture-led plan.

Tendring District Council has commissioned Clacton Thriving, a plan to improve the town centre over the coming years.

The document includes ideas for a host of potential projects including more street art, additional outdoor markets, beach parade events. People are being asked which ideas they would like to be prioritised if funding becomes available.

Clacton Thriving brings together expert assessments and the views of hundreds of residents from previous consultations creating an exciting vision and action plan for the town centre.

“This is an opportunity for residents, businesses and community groups to tell us which of the projects that have been identified they would like to see prioritised over the coming years if funding opportunities arise.”

The development of the plan has been funded through the Community Regeneration Partnership programme and complements the Love Clacton Vision, which will guide £20 million of Government investment for the town over the next ten years through the Pride in Place programme.

Residents can have their say by completing the online survey here.
