Have your say on Littlehampton Seafront Scheme
Exciting proposals to transform Littlehampton seafront using a government grant have now been unveiled – and we want to know what you think.
The designs show how the site could look once revitalised with highlights of the project including new social spaces for activities such as water play, climbing nets and volleyball, as well as new concessions units to increase the range of food on offer and an area for visiting market events.
Further enhancements are set to include new toilets and beach showers, improvements to the car park, including EV charging points, walkways and new, sustainable planting matched to its coastal setting.
In addition, funding has been made available to include a Changing Places facility at the site, a larger accessible toilet for disabled people that has specialist equipment, such as hoists and support rails.
A public consultation is being held to get the views of residents on the scheme, funded by £7,234,201 from the Levelling Up Fund.
Councillor Shaun Gunner, Leader of Arun District Council, said:
“This project is all about transforming the seafront in Littlehampton and helping to make our town a great place to live, to work and to visit. But we can’t do this alone. We need your input so we can ensure that the project is right for the community and for our town. With £7.2 million of investment going into Littlehampton, this is your chance to shape the future of our seafront – so please get involved!”
The consultation will run from 9am on Friday 21 October to 10pm on Sunday 13 November 2022.
Staffed exhibitions are planned for:
- Tuesday 1 November – 10am - 1pm at Littlehampton Wave
- Saturday 5 November – 10am - 1pm at The Windmill
- Thursday 10 November – 4pm - 7pm at Littlehampton Wave
Consultants, Mace Consult Ltd, have been appointed to support the council in delivering the Littlehampton Seafront Scheme throughout the design and construction phases.
It is anticipated that work on the scheme will begin next year and be completed in 2024.
