The Walton Forum & Walton Community Project - In
Detail
What is the Walton Forum?
The Walton Forum was established in 2001 and has a wide range of members
including representatives from local business, services and communities
groups. It was formed to steer the regeneration of Walton.
How
do you know what we want?
In January 2002, over 250 local people attended a public visioning event
in Walton. The subsequent findings of the day formed the basis of the
work of the Forum.
What
resources do we have?
The Forum has been successful in raising money from the Market Town
Initiative funding from the East of England Development Agency (EEDA).
Thanks to the funding from EEDA and match funding from our various partners
including Essex County Council, English Heritage, Tendring District
Council, Frinton and Walton Town Council, we are able to deliver significant
projects benefiting the town of Walton, it’s residents, businesses
and visitors.
