PLANS have been announced to spend £208,696 on improving a seaside town centre.
The scheme, to encourage visitors and businesses to Redcar, will be voted on by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council on December 2.
The money would be spent on initiatives that include dealing with vacant properties in the town centre, improving other properties and improving the lights for festivals.
More than £100,000 would be spent on the removal of three glazed structures near Redcar Clock, used as kiosks and bus shelters, which were installed seven years ago.
They would be replaced by telephone kiosks and street furniture.
The public will be able to give their views as part of a study into what shops people want in Redcar.
John Partridge, the town centre manager, said: "The challenge is to continue the regeneration of the town.
"We have a new development with Regent Walk, and we need to spread the benefits that it has brought to the town so they can be felt on the margins."
He said part of the aim was to fill vacant shops.
