Tendring District Council was updated on the progress of the Milton Road and Victoria Street schemes during its cabinet meeting on Friday, June 26.
Councillor Jeff Bray, Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Heritage, said: “By investing in high-quality public spaces and better connections through the town, we are helping to create a place that people are proud to live in and that visitors want to return to.
"These improvements will have a lasting positive impact on the local economy and community."
The Milton Road site, currently a derelict car park, will be refurbished to provide a modern parking area with EV charging, cycle storage, soft landscaping, and decorative railings celebrating local heritage.
The Victoria Street site, the location of the historic Victoria Hotel, will be rebuilt to provide eight new affordable homes, council homes and amenity space.
