The Government announced that Clay Cross would receive £24.1m of funding to deliver a number of projects contained in the Clay Cross Town Investment Plan. In Clay Cross this means;
- increasing the skills and productivity of our workforce
- improving access to a range of high quality jobs and training opportunities
- improving the environmental quality of the town and town centre
These plans will ensure that Clay Cross is a thriving place to live and work.
The Clay Cross Town Investment Plan (.pdf | 14mb) is focussed around three main areas:
- Urban Regeneration – ensuring Clay Cross and town centre is a thriving place for people to live and work;
- Skills and Infrastructure – supporting investment and the development of small business, creating opportunities for skills and training;
- Connectivity – improving local transport links and improved digital connectivity.
Following a period of extensive consultation with residents and businesses of Clay Cross, five exciting projects were drawn up to use these vital funds:
- Clay Cross Active Community Hub
- Local Area Energy Network Plan (Complete)
- Low Carbon Challenge Fund
- Rail Station Feasibility (Complete)
- Town Centre Regeneration
