Over the past four years, Shoreham's beautiful beach has seen a boardwalk surface on the shingle, connecting the road with the shoreline using modern materials sympathetic to the area's conservation status.
The final piece of the puzzle - an 80m section which will form the access path from Winterton Way known as 'Phase 2' - will be completed by the end of August.
Councillor Keith Dollemore, Executive Member for the Environment at Adur District Council, comments:
“The majority of the boardwalk is now complete - and it looks fantastic. Importantly, the boardwalk allows the beach and amazing natural vistas to be enjoyed by all - previously it was nearly impossible for anyone living with a mobility issue to get across the stones to watch the sunset and waves breaking.”
“The local community is already enjoying the completed boardwalk sections and I'm delighted that the materials chosen have blended in so well with this important site.”
