Sea Wall Repair and New Community Building
North Berwick Harbour is an historic and essential part of the local community, playing a significant role in the town’s economy and tourism. It creates a focal point for tourists, business, volunteering, leisure and environmental projects through the wide variety of organisations based around the Harbour. Maintaining and enhancing the harbour’s infrastructure is essential to maintain to its safe operation and grow North Berwick’s success.
We recently applied to the North Berwick Trust with details of our proposed regeneration plan aimed at repairing and improving the harbour’s walls and facilities. These projects are essential to secure the long-term viability and attractiveness of North Berwick Harbour. We are delighted to announce that we have been given the offer of £2m match funding from North Berwick Trust which will allow us to continue with our work to restore the harbour, provide better facilities and undertake the remaining significant repair works to the sea defences.
This also allows us to not only repair the harbour infrastructure, but to improve accessibility to the beach, surrounding areas, viewpoints. It includes the construction of the new community/water sports shared facility which we were granted planning permission for earlier this year. Our plans are all about improving the harbour in a way that sustains the environment, history, and ambience, supporting more water based activity while strengthening our sea defences and providing great new facilities for the businesses and public that love the harbour so much.
We are now working hard to raise funds to match the North Berwick Trust’s generous offer to allow us to make a difference.”
