Issue - meetings

The Council is committed to town centre regeneration and has been allocated funding by Government to support a long-term plan for Clacton-on-Sea.

This report seeks Cabinet’s input of the draft Long Term Plan proposals, which are due to be submitted to Government by 1st August 2024. Additional input will also be obtained from the Clacton Councillors consultation planned for 9th July and the Clacton Town Board next week.

The plan is underpinned by evidence gathering and strategic analysis of past community and business consultations, as we were unable to undertake the planned engagement on the plan due to the restrictions of the pre-election period. It is also supported by workshops with officers, key stakeholders, and the Clacton Town Board. It highlights some of the unique characteristics and strengths of Clacton, which we will build on to transform the economic and social prosperity of the town.

Please note that Annex 1 to the report (the Long Term Plan) is to follow as it will first be considered at the meeting of the Clacton Town Board on 19 July 2024.

This item had been withdrawn by the Leader of the Council for the reasons identified in Minute 25 above.
