Beachgoers in Worthing will get the chance to embrace a traditional seaside delight as the popular deckchair concession returns.
Worthing Borough Council has given South Coast Beach Leisure Ltd a three-year licence to provide deckchairs in three locations between Splash Point and West Buildings.
With the sun now shining and thousands heading to the coast, more than 250 deckchairs have been made available to hire. As those in need of repair are refurbished, this number will grow, and there could be up to 500 on the beach this year.
South Beach Leisure Ltd is also looking to provide up to 50 beach loungers for a trial next year.
The agreement with the Council means the company is responsible for setting out and collecting the deckchairs, as well as maintaining them and putting them into storage.
They are available for hire for £4 per day, from 10am until 5.30pm, weather permitting.
Deckchair attendants will be wearing a uniform and will be easily identifiable to members of the public.
The operator can provide up to 1,000 chairs from May to September until 2023.
