Oct 2007: HAVEN GATEWAY 'VISION PROJECT' FOR NAZE
The Haven Gateway Partnership, which manages the huge ports complex of the Harwich Estuary, is developing a 'Green Infrastructure Strategy' aimed at protecting and preserving the local environment in and around this single most important cluster of ports in the UK.
   The Naze Open Space has been designated VISION PROJECT No.52, which means that it has been earmarked for future development resources by this  'green initiative' from the commercial enterprise's Infrastructure Workshop.
   This development can only mean good news for the regeneration of the Naze as a local attraction for visitors.

April 2006: CLIFF HERITAGE PROJECT LAUNCHED!
Local environmental charity, The Naze Protection Society, has launched a Cliff Heritage Project to attract fundraising not only from charitable sources - like the Heritage Lottery Fund - and also from large commercial corporations.
      It is calling its fundraising initiative ‘CRAG WALK – a stroll through prehistory’ and aims to target its resources on providing a visitor-friendly walkway along the base of the world famous red crag cliffs that border the Naze Public Open Space on its North Sea side.  Corporate Funding Appeal
January 2006: LOTTERY GRANT AWARD!
The NPS has been awarded an 'Awards for All' lottery grant of £5,000 - the maximum sum available from this particular funding source.
      The money has been allocated specifically to part-fund an Inception Report that has been commissioned by the charity through engineering consultants Royal Haskoning. This preliminary work will be the vital first stage towards the implementation of Tendring District Council’s sea wall revetment plans designed to protect the crumbling Naze cliffs and prevent local landmark, the Naze Tower, from falling into the sea.
      The charity / council partnership means that the Naze Protection Society will have to fund the £800.000 project through charitable donations and further direct grant appeals. At present the charity has in excess of £140,000 in funds, which have been raised mainly through donations from its charity shop in Walton High Street.
      ‘Clearly, we still have along way to go’, said David Gager, the charity’s Chairman, ‘but further grant bids are in the pipeline. We are tremendously grateful for the generosity that has already been shown by our supporters and are optimistic that our target will be reached’.
      Before committing its funds in commissioning the report, The Naze Protection Society awaits the formal green light from the Tendring District Council’s Cabinet. The council's technical department produced the plans for the project in 2004. Pending planning permission and successful fundraising, work is expected to start in the autumn of 2007.
