Pride In Place (Clacton)

The government has unveiled a number of towns across the country, including Clacton, that will benefit from a multi-billion pound investment, as part of a Plan for Neighbourhoods that provide long-term investment in towns that have been overlooked and taken for granted.

Clacton will be given £20 million endowment-style funds each over 10 years to invest in local people’s priorities.

An independently chaired Town Board has been set up to develop a ten-year vision, and a shorter-term investment plan.
