The Department for Communities and Local Government has announced that it will provide a further £40 million in grants to help regenerate the UK’s coastal communities.
The fifth round of the Coastal Communities Fund (CCF) will re-open for applications in early 2018 and all projects funded through the CCF are expected to deliver an outcome where coastal communities will experience regeneration and economic growth through projects that directly or indirectly create sustainable jobs, and safeguard existing jobs. The funding will cover the years 2019 – 2021.
The government has already provided £170 million for 278 projects around the country since the Coastal Communities Fund was launched in 2012.
