<p>We are committed to increasing economic activity in our coastal communities. Our
coastal areas have already benefited from over £250 million through successful bids
into Town Deals and from the Future High Streets Fund. At Budget 2021, the Chancellor
announced 7 Freeports in coastal areas, which will boost economic activity further
in these communities</p><p><br> This is all in addition to the £6 million available
through the Welcome Back Fund to support coastal areas; offering assistance of up
to £100,000 to help address the unique challenges facing these areas as restrictions
ease. Further support will be available through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which
will help to level up and create opportunity across the UK in places most in need.
Coastal places can also bid into the £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund.</p>
