The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government approved a £20 million investment plan for Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, on 23 March 2026. This funding will be used over the next 10 years to make the town safer and more prosperous for local families.
The project is known as the Love Clacton Vision and focuses on three key priorities: making the area Safe and Lively, Prosperous, and Healthy. Local residents, visitors, and businesses helped shape the plan last year when more than 600 people gave their feedback during community consultations.
The Clacton Town Board will now begin work on “quick-win” improvements that the community asked for. George Kieffer, the independent chairman of the board, said the approval means the town can now start delivering these exciting changes immediately.
This new money is part of a larger £60 million regeneration effort led by Tendring District Council. Other work in the town includes the recently completed skate park, as well as ongoing projects like shop front improvements and the redevelopment of the library site.
