‘Five Council’ Proposal Public Consultation
Have your say on the future of councils in Essex. Councils across Greater Essex are seeking public input on plans to replace the current Local Authority structure with fewer, larger unitary councils.
Regeneration Priorities
Regeneration is needed to address important issues relating to the future wellbeing of the Borough. These issues include re-energising and expanding industrial and commercial areas to attract business investment and create more local jobs reducing the current high level of out-commuting; revitalising town centres to make them more attractive to existing residents to increase the proportion of resident spend currently being lost to other towns, and as business and housing locations; and improving the leisure and recreational opportunities on Canvey seafront.
Castle Point Regeneration Partnership, a network of individuals and organisations committed to the future prosperity of the Borough, is leading the regeneration process and is working to identify and develop projects which respond to the Borough's challenges and opportunities.
The Regeneration Framework identifies eight key priorities to bring about transformational change to Castle Point.
