Extra £2m needed for Golden Mile revamp has potential

Plans for an extra £2million required for a revamp of Great Yarmouth seafront look likely to be explored by the borough council.

Local leading seafront business man Peter Jay put pressure on the InterGreat project directors, accusing the directors of not carrying out correct consultation on the plans.

Talks are continuing on the £16.3million plans which, including the Seafront, will include restoration of Market Row, Broad Row and historic buildings around Great Yarmouth. The area surrounding the Hollywood Cinema is also included in the revamp plans. The remaining money for the project will be distributed to various projects including regeneration of certain areas aswell as more CCTV.

The reason behind the request for a further £2million is thought to have emerged after the projects were examined in more detail that they would cost more than originally thought.
