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.
