The Clacton Town Board has received capacity funding from the government to support the preparation of a Regeneration Plan, which must include a 10-year vision and a 4-year investment plan. In March 2025, the Board agreed to allocate a portion of this funding to commission external expertise to assist with drafting the plan, facilitating engagement workshops, and supporting the prioritisation of funding proposals.

Tendring District Council, acting on behalf of the Clacton Town Board, committed to appointing a contractor with a comprehensive skill set, including strategic planning, data analysis, stakeholder and community engagement, regeneration, design, and project management.

It was also essential that the appointed contractor had the capacity to deliver within the required timeframe, as the final Regeneration Plan must be submitted to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) by 28 November. We Made That are the winning contractor and will bring additional capacity and expertise to the programme.
