LOOKING TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR FELIXSTOWE
updated December 2007

Earlier this year, a vision for Felixstowe was developed as part of a master planning project covering the seafront and part of the town centre. This vision is for:

“A thriving seaside town and port, attractive to residents of all ages, andwelcoming to visitors who wish to experience the town’s beautiful coastal location, proud Edwardian heritage, vibrant and diverse retail offer, caféculture and healthy outdoor lifestyle.”

The Felixstowe & Trimleys Peninsula Future Steering Group, in conjunction with David Lock Associates, has now completed a significant stage of work in the development of an overall regeneration master plan.  This work comprises a series of conceptual projects which have been assessed in some detail.  In addition, there are project ideas that have also been considered and these will be evaluated further over the coming months.

Please click on the links to the right (under the cover image) to view the Master Plan Report for Felixstowe Seafront and Town Centre.

One of the most critical issues surrounding the regeneration master plan will be where funds can be found to implement each and any of the projects.  These funds will be sought both from UK and EU sources and could take several months – or longer – to secure.  If sufficient funds cannot be secured to invest in some or all of the projects, they are unlikely to go ahead or might take significantly longer to get underway.

Further details will be provided early in 2008.
