Sea Change

What is Sea Change?

Sea Change places culture at the heart of regenerating England’s seaside resorts by investing in arts, public space, cultural assets and heritage projects. It will drive cultural and creative regeneration and economic growth in seaside resorts by funding inspiring, creative and innovative projects, bringing a sense of pride, enjoyment and celebration.

How will this impact on Dover?

Plans for a possible cable car from the Western Dock to the Castle will be developed after just over £3.8 million was awarded to the Town.

Improvements around the historic castle, including updating the secret wartime tunnels, will allow new presentations of its history and heritage. The Bleriot Monument, which commemorates the first cross channel flight will also be refurbished.  The successful bid also included public realm improvements for the Seafront in Dover to complement the Western Docks refurbishment and to facilitate the linkages into the town.

What stage is the Council at with this project?

£3.8 million has been awarded to Dover for this project and plans are being drawn up to ensure that the refurbishment of the Bleriot monument is complete in time for the celebrations in July 2009.  A feasibility study is being carried out for the cable car and designs are being drawn up for the Public Realm Improvements on the seafront.
