Looks like a crab 🦀 claw 😊Following a two-year development process, a £24.9m programme to transform Lowestoft has received final Government approval enabling work to progress on 5 major regeneration projects.In 2019, Lowestoft was chosen as one of 100 UK towns to benefit from the Government's £3.6 billion Towns Fund. Each town was invited to develop a proposal for a 'Towns Deal', with up to £25 million available to bid for.In 2020, a plan setting out Lowestoft’s ambitions, opportunities and challenges over the next 10 years was submitted to the Government as part of a £24.9m application to the Towns Fund, focusing on five transformational projects. The full funding was provisionally secured in March 2021, subject to the completion of detailed businesses cases for each of the 5 projects. These were completed in March 2022 and all five projects have now received final approval from Government. The 5 projects are:◾ The Station Quarter, which will see both the former Post Office and front of the vacant Lowestoft railway station building fully restored and brought back into full working use.◾ The Cultural Quarter, which will see improvements to the Marina Theatre - Lowestoft, the redevelopment of the Council’s current Customer Services Centre to provide a new cultural facility with associated eatery, and the redevelopment of the former Battery Green multi-storey car park to provide a new leisure offer. ◾ The Historic Quarter which will focus on the redevelopment and refurbishment of the Town Hall along with enhancing the historic Scores.◾ The Seafront Vision which will see the redevelopment of Royal Plain including the Royal Plain fountains, Royal Green and associated public realm to complement the recently refurbished East Point Pavilion.◾ The Port Gateway project (pictured) which will support the development of the Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility (LEEF) to secure Lowestoft’s future as an Operations and Maintenance hub for the offshore renewables sector. All five projects have now advanced to the design phase and in the coming months, residents, businesses and visitors will be able to view proposed designs and learn more about each project. eastsuffolk.co/3QoZfyb ...

💦 No hosepipe ban for Suffolk anticipated 💦 #hosepipeWe’re at the start of a new month!👏And good news - we're expecting to see these lovely sunny conditions continuing through most of August☀️And while we have seen a lot of talk in the news about hosepipe bans in some parts of the country, our reservoirs remain at healthy levels for this time of year and we are not currently anticipating any restrictions this summer 🌻That doesn't mean to say that we aren't experiencing a dry and hot period of weather, which usually brings with it some very high water demand.That's why we're asking for your help to use water wisely where you can, even if it involves making the smallest changes! Because well, every drop really does count 💙💧Southend-on-Sea, Essex County Council, Chelmsford City Council, Suffolk County Council, East Suffolk Council ... See MoreSee Less
