To reallocate the unspent funding through this scheme, which wasn't expended due to applicants submitting proposals for lower sums as they did not require the transport bus to have additional adaptations. By reallocating this funding, this will support the delivery of shopfront improvements through a grant application process under the Ten_08 Shopfront Improvement project, which has demonstrated significant success so far, and now has a waiting list for Clacton and Holland.
