Shoreham Harbour regeneration to get nearly £2million
Ref : 10/074 : Date : 13-08-2010
The government have announced Eco Town and Growth Point funding of £1,793,467
for the Shoreham Harbour Regeneration Project so long as it has the support
of local people.
Deputy director of the Department of Communities, Henry Cleary, has pledged Eco-town funding of £750,000 and Growth Point funding of £1,043,467.
Some of the money will be spent on an eco-demonstration project at the harbour to showcase environmentally friendly, energy efficient, sustainable and attractive design to encourage and attract developers to get on board.
The money will also support several important areas of work, such as:
- Getting local people involved in the project
- Producing a planning framework for the project
- Economic development work to encourage new investment and jobs to the area.
- Transport modelling and flood avoidance modelling.
Welcoming the news Leader of Adur District Council, Neil Parkin said: "Although work has continued this money will give the project a real boost and allow us to get on with the job."
"It is indeed good news and a well deserved pat on the back to our team whose perseverance, hard work and patience have paid off."
"It’s good to know we can look forward with the full engagement and support of residents and businesses."
The three local authority partners, Adur District, Brighton & Hove, West Sussex County councils plus Shoreham Port and other partners are also looking to Europe for other funding opportunities.
