Sucessful Launch Coastal Handbook

3rd February 2010

"Coastal Regeneration in English Resorts 2010"

This book is born of a desire by the Coastal Communities Alliance (CCA) to maintain and extend the national debate on how to address the complex social and economic problems that are associated with English coastal resorts. As such, it is very much work in progress, and the debates that are generated here will be continued on the CCA website to create a resource for all organisations concerned about the future of England’s seaside resorts.

 The publication has been made possible by the financial support of national and regional organisations involved in varying aspects of coastal resort regeneration and the generousity of a range of authors from around the country. The CCA are also indebted to the many local authorities, coastal MPs and coastal organisations that responded to our various questionnaires and requests for follow-up information.

 The book is concerned with:

    * the social and economic issues faced by coastal resort
    * it is not about the physical coast – better served elsewhere
    * Maintaining the national interest in coastal social and economic issues
    * encouraging new national and local thinking on coastal problems
    * promoting greater cooperation among the many coastal organisations
    * maximising on distinctiveness and local assets
    * reviewing coastal leadership and public sector delivery
    * consolidating coastal information and the CCA website
    * the book is work-in-progress
