On 20 December 2024, Cabinet accepted the Community Regeneration Partnership funding and commenced delivery. Prior to this, the programme was accepted into the Policy Framework by Full Council on 8 June 2024 and the principle of entering the Partnership approved by Cabinet on 26 July 2024. Subsequently, the funding has been received and a Memorandum of Understanding entered with MHCLG which includes TDC as the Accountable Body.
Instruction of these early works will enable the first phase of the construction programme to be expedited while allowing time for final contract details and costs to be finalised. This is with the aim of retaining the construction programme to ensure no impact on the beginning of the 2027 Beach Patrol season.
This will ensure the project progresses, per the Council’s commitment to date and as set out in the Project Initiation Document.
