Printed copies of the consultation survey and information will be available at Harwich Library. In addition, a drop-in consultation event is being held at Harwich Library on Tuesday, 12 December from 1-8pm.

Tendring welcomes this significant financial investment in our towns, which will help the district make the most of opportunities from wider development, such as Freeport East, the Tendring Colchester Border Garden Community and more.

Clacton

The Clacton Levelling Up Fund project will see £29.3million invested to create a new gateway into the town, providing new community facilities – including a library, learning centre, business units, homes and improved public space – all part of unlocking the wider long-term potential of Clacton and Tendring.

Dovercourt

Our £9million Dovercourt Capital Regeneration Project will deliver several aspects of the Dovercourt Revisited masterplan, bringing skills provision to the heart of the town in a re-vamped library, new housing, and a welcoming street-scape from the station to Marine Parade and around Kingsway; developing further potential brought by Freeport East for the area.
