The funding, from the UK Government’s Pride in Place Impact Fund, will be used across three projects designed to upgrade facilities for both residents and visitors.
A significant portion of the money will go towards improvements at the Groe public toilets.

The council plans to install a dedicated chemical toilet disposal point for motorhome and caravan users, aimed at preventing damage caused by improper waste disposal.
The upgrade will also include a pay-to-access entry system to help offset the current £40,000 annual running costs, as well as solar panels to cut energy bills and reduce environmental impact.
Funding will also be spent on a new permanent shelter in Groe Park. The structure will provide protection from both sun and rain, helping people to use the space more comfortably throughout the year, particularly families, older residents and those with additional needs.

The third area of spending will see the introduction of interactive signage in the town centre. These digital-style information points will provide up-to-date details on attractions, facilities and services, aimed at improving the visitor experience and boosting the local economy.
The council said the projects must be delivered within tight deadlines, with work now focused on securing permissions and completing the upgrades as quickly as possible.
