Castle Point Council are receiving £1,000,000 from the Conservative Government’s flagship Shared Prosperity Fund.

Tonight the council’s cabinet have brought forward proposals on what they are going to spend it on, including projects to rejuvenate our local town centres and green spaces, and helping unemployed and under employed local people find jobs.

The Shared Prosperity Fund was set up as part of the Government’s levelling up. It allows local councils freedom over what projects they want to create or support to level up their areas.

Tonight Castle Point Council will also be choosing how they are going to spend their £140,000 Public Realm and Play Spaces Fund grant from the Government to improve our local parks.
