Revised plans for exciting Cultural Quarter development
Read more about "Revised plans for exciting Cultural Quarter development "...Following a review of ambitions for the Cultural Quarter project in Lowestoft town centre, and a considerable change in market conditions, a revised and updated plan for the site will now progress to the final build stage.
The scheme is intended to deliver new leisure, restaurant, and cultural opportunities on the site of the former multi-storey car park and the Marina Customer Services Centre. It forms part of the Lowestoft Regeneration Programme as part of the £24.9m provided through the Town Deals and Levelling up fund from MHCLG to transform and diversify the town centre, unlock private and public investment, attract younger people, create high-skilled jobs, enhance the nighttime economy and capitalize on the town's heritage and cultural assets.
These government funds have unlocked a further £32m (£18m of which is direct ESC funding) in match funding signifying a total of £59m investment in the town.

However, to date, there has been minimal interest in demand for commercial leisure provision within the complex – reflecting national challenges faced by the commercial leisure sector.
