Now we’ve got your attention over our recent exhibition and the work we did around that, do you want to hear some more fantastic news?

Yes? Ok, we’ll spill.

We found out late yesterday that we’ve just been awarded a maximum £50k share from the Government’s new Coastal Revival Fund!

This is huge!

Firstly, it means that we can now check off some of the vital early stage work we need to carry out, such as a condition survey of the pool surround, and the completion of an environmental impact assessment.
And secondly, it means that we’re continuing to demonstrate that this project IS of significant local, regional and national importance and, more importantly, that a growing number of people are confident that we can achieve what we’re aiming for.

The note from the Department for Communities and Local Government said it all: “There was a very high interest in the £3million Revival Fund, which received 222 bids, totalling £9million. With the funding three times oversubscribed, you project demonstrated it was one of the very best.”

Yup, we’re inclined to agree. :o)
