The Coastal Communities Alliance (CCA) is a virtual network of local authorities and coastal organisations who seek to promote best practice in coastal regeneration and to inform policy and funding by providing local evidence and local solutions for the distinctive socio-economic problems of coastal towns.
This toolkit has been prepared to support coastal authorities and their partners in tuning their economic development strategies to the unique challenges and opportunities of coastal economies. The toolkit provides some pointers and practical tips that authorities and partners can adopt in order to ‘coastal proof’ economic development strategie
Explore the challenges and opportunities faced by coastal towns in stimulating enterprise and entrepreneurial activity, and the policy and practice context for the delivery of business support to assist individuals and communities in starting and sustaining a business.
Local authorities that are all on the coast with no urban areas of any great size, an aged population with below average health, few women working full-time, a higher than average proportion of the workforce employed in agriculture, many pensioners living alone, and a higher than expected number of homes with no central heating.
The spatial planning system operates at three levels - national, regional and local - with the latter being more practically relevant for coastal resorts. We start at the top!
Enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.
