Tourism along Solway Coast in CUMBRIA, in line for a major boost
From the News & Star, 31st October 2016.
Tourism along the Solway coast could be in for a major boost, with Silloth clearing the first hurdle in its bid to land £1.8m of funding.
A group of the area's leaders formed a team earlier this year hoping to tap into the Government's Coastal Communities Fund (CCF).
They've just found out their bid has made it past stage one - and now have an opportunity to tweak their case ready for the second stage.
A separate bid from Maryport did not make it through stage one, as did two efforts from communities in Copeland.
The CCF encourages the economic development of UK coastal communities by giving funding to create growth and jobs
If successful the Silloth bid team will look to transform tourism in the area and one of the ways they hope to achieve that is extending the coastal cycle route.
