A new £36m fund has been created by UK Government, with an aim to help develop and improve tourist attractions, create jobs and promote socio-economic growth around the British coast.
The fund, created from the government’s Coastal Communities Fund and its Coastal Revival Fund, has been allocated to 70 projects in coastal areas of Britain, which includes new museums, heritage sites, historic buildings and innovative businesses.
Communities Secretary, James Brokenshire said: “”All of the ambitious projects receiving funding were designed and developed by local people who know what will make the biggest difference to their areas… the sheer range of ideas demonstrates the potential of our coastal communities and will create good jobs, boost growth and improve people’s lives now and in the future.”
