Place St Maur is shaping up
Great progress is being made at Place St Maur in time for the Jubilee weekend!
The project is on-going but we are delighted that the public will be able to access much of the newly paved central space for the long weekend ahead of us.
We can see the finishing line now with planting in place, although some areas will be protected with temporary fencing while they take root.
The water and electrical connections for the water jets are ready on site and are due to be commissioned and in use within the coming few weeks, hopefully we will have the weather to enjoy them!
Some of the work at Place St Maur has taken longer than expected and the reasons for this are not unique to this project. The construction industry has been affected by the extraordinary circumstances of recent, and current global events, which have increased demand for materials and resulted in shortages in some of the products we need. We are working as hard as we can to complete the work as soon as possible and really appreciate the patience of our residents and visitors.
Cllr David Edwards, chair of the Environment Committee said:
“It is so exciting seeing this project coming together, especially as the summer approaches. Even though we still have work to do, we are looking forward to this being done soon and expect Place St Maur to be a popular new destination in Bognor Regis for residents and visitors alike.”
