Dovercourt Town Centre Improvement Corridor

Government notified the Council in January 2023 that its Dovercourt Town Centre Improvement Corridor bid was unsuccessful for LUF, but on 15 March 2023 Government announced the bid was successful in a sister fund, ‘Capital Regeneration Projects’ (CRP). The funding from Government comprises:

Kingsway improvements: A major investment into the appearance of Dovercourt Town Centre to improve the visitor experience and support local businesses.

Learning and library project: The Adult Community Learning skills centre will return to Dovercourt town within a refurbished library, increasing the opportunities for residents to benefit from courses locally.

Town centre works: Demolish an out-of-date multi-storey car park at Milton Road and replace or refurbish it.

Homes: Build new, well-built social homes to replace two derelict sites in Victoria Steet.

High Street Accelerator Project

This is a separate scheme with funding specifically for High Street. A new independent forum is being set up to deliver interventions from this.
