Littlehampton seafront scheme update – 11 March 2025
The project to transform a stretch of Littlehampton seafront is progressing well, with the roof of the new toilet block now in place ready for a waterproof covering to be added. The next step will be to construct a curved wall for the exterior of the shower area.
Scaffolding is now in place around the foreshore building to allow the upper walls to be built. The excavation and kerbs are nearing completion in the overflow car park allowing the gravel layer and crate system to be laid. Progress is being made in the activity area with the construction of the pétanque court, the concrete base for the climbing wall now installed and the base layer of pathways now in place.
West Green car park will need resurfacing and relining as it is in poorer condition than first thought. As a result, we will need to close the car park for around four days later this month to get the work done as quickly as possible with the intention of getting it operational in time for the Easter school holidays.
Alternative on-street parking will be available on Windmill Road, South Terrace and Arun Parade, or within East Green car park on Sea Road. Affected permit holders will be contacted directly by Arun District Council's Car Parks team with information about alternative parking locations and arrangements. Signage will be displayed in the car park and there will be further social media updates when dates for this work are confirmed.
