A seaside town in Kent is to receive £22.2m of funding to give its economy a much-needed boost and help the area thrive.
The money, awarded to Thanet District Council, will be used to help the Margate community flourish by providing opportunities for those living there and make the town realise its full potential .

The announcement was made as part of the Chancellor s Budget statement yesterday.
The scheme aims to support urban regeneration, skills development and improved connectivity by giving each place its own Town Deal.
A board was created, including North Thanet MP Sir Roger Gale and chief executive of East Kent College Graham Razey, and an investment plan submitted last year as part of its bid.

A £25million windfall for Ipswich from the government s Towns Deal Fund has been hailed as a fantastic boost which will have a transformative effect on its regeneration after Covid.
However, business and political leaders warned that after previous attempts to revamp the town: This time our approach must be different if we want to get it right.
The giant windfall was confirmed in the Budget on Wednesday.
It will enable work to be carried out on 11 projects, mainly in the town centre and Waterfront areas, which will be aimed at pump-priming a recovery in its fortunes after the shock of the Covid crisis.
