Cleator Moor Town Deal
The town has secured a once in a generation level of regeneration funding to help it thrive into the future, with match funding support from Sellafield Ltd.
In September 2019, Cleator Moor became one of 101 places invited to work with the Government to propose a Town Deal with up to £25million in funds available from the wider £3.6bn Towns Fund.
Match funding was required in order to demonstrate to the UK Government that the funding was deliverable and focused on the greatest areas of need. Sellafield Ltd have committed to £3,606,950 of funding over four years, helping to deliver a range of planned projects, including:
- Enterprising town – delivery of the Industrial Solutions Hub in the town.
- Revitalised town – tackling building underuse and improving the presentation and perception of Cleator Moor
- Connected town – improving accessibility through new or improved roads, footpaths and cycle paths
- Healthy town – providing the community with a modern, multi-purpose and inclusive sports facility at the Activity Centre.
The Cleator Moor Town Deal Board secured £22.5 million in November 2022 for projects it identified as local priorities, along with £18.4 million from match funders.
