Bids invited for £3m coastal revamp funds
Coastal Communities Minister Mark Francois said: “From historic piers, seafronts to lidos our coastal towns are awash with striking icons which we want to celebrate but may have fallen into neglect and disuse over time.
“I urge communities to bid for this £3m Coastal Revival funding ahead of the deadline so they can kick-start restoration work and drive further investments so these icons can be restored to their full potential.”
It’s hoped the cash will be used to revive economies.
