<p>On 26 January, the Government announced £46 million of funding to 67 projects around
England and Scotland’s coast. All of these will make a big contribution to supporting
growth and jobs in these areas. In total, the Coastal Communities Fund is now supporting
211 projects across the UK with a value of £116 million and is forecast to support
nearly 12,400 new jobs, and provide over 6,000 apprenticeships and training places.</p><p>In
addition to the Coastal Communities Fund, many other Government programmes also support
growth in coastal areas. For example, over £500 million was committed through Growth
Deals in July 2014 for projects to improve the economic competitiveness of coastal
areas, and a number of successful Enterprise Zones are encouraging investment in coastal
locations.</p><p>The Government remains committed to supporting growth in all areas
of the country, including coastal communities.</p>
