Burnham-On-Sea's
Marine Cove project plans formally unveiled
 The
£360,000 project to revamp Burnham-On-Sea's Marine Cove
gardens has taken another step forward this week with the formal
submission of a planning application for the scheme.
The
scheme covers the restoration of two timber shelters, plus the
restoration of an existing public open space including surfacing,
a sundial feature, fencing and new street furniture.
The
proposals, which have been submitted by Sedgemoor District Council,
will be considered by councillors over the coming weeks. The deadline
for feedback on the scheme is March 5th.
Sedgemoor
District Council has pledged £35,000 to the scheme as part
of a Heritage Lottery Funding bid for a total of £362,900.
Other
cash committed includes £14,500 from Burnham and Highbridge
Town Council and £16,000 from waste company Viridor.
Last
June, the project was given a huge boost when it won £29,500
of 'first round' funding from The Heritage Lottery Fund.
