Love Clacton Vision
Following a community consultation, the Love Clacton vision has been submitted for government approval. The vision will be published to the public following this approval in Spring 2026.
Clacton is evolving into a lively, family-friendly coastal destination where residents feel a strong sense of identity and pride. Honouring its rich heritage while embracing sustainable development, we are creating a place that celebrates culture, fosters opportunity, and drives economic growth. Through innovation, connectivity, and inclusivity, Clacton will inspire future generations, support businesses, and offer a welcoming experience for all who live, work, and visit.
A Vibrant and Thriving Seaside Neighbourhood
We want Clacton to become a vibrant and thriving seaside town. We want our residents to feel a strong sense of identity. We envision a community where people are proud to live.
Safe and Lively
We want to improve confidence in our town centre, making Clacton a safer and more lively town for both visitors and residents.
This includes reanimating the town through local events and key Town Centre spaces, fostering a strong local community and providing more reasons to stay in Clacton.
Prosperous
To encourage growth in our local community, we want to support local businesses and social enterprises, rather than waiting for large employers to arrive.
We want to provide further opportunities by expanding apprenticeship options and supporting youth-led projects to help young people envision the future of Clacton and feel they have a stake in shaping it.
Healthy
We want to improve the quality of life for our residents through small everyday routes into activity, connection and community support.
By investing in improvements to facilities and community programmes, we will encourage preventative interventions that are relationship-based and inclusive.
