PLANS have been drawn up to transform a seafront following a £1.2 million grant.
Arun District Council is urging residents to have their say on proposals to regenerate Place St Maur in Bognor Regis, following a successful funding bid to Coast to Capital.
The Coast to Capital grant, which has been agreed in principle, is set to fund a project to create a stronger connection between the seafront esplanade and town centre.
Early proposals include water jets, a creative lighting scheme and modern seating areas.
Design consultants LUC were appointed to prepare design proposals and a consultation has been launched online, which runs until March 8.
Councillor Samantha-Jayne Staniforth, Arun District Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, said: “We are excited to be able to show these early designs to the public and would encourage everyone to have their say as your input will help to shape the final designs - and you could be a part of the history of the transformed space.
"As a resident of Bognor Regis myself, I know how keen we all are to see this space transformed.
"Your views are a key part of this. Let’s work together to bring a wow factor to Bognor Regis, not just for residents, but for visitors alike.
"In turn this will help bring trade to our town and enjoyment for us all.”
Work is due to begin in the autumn after all the proposals have been considered and a final plan has been drawn up.
To view the consultation and have your say, visit the Arun District Council website or www.lucmaps.co.uk/Place, before March 8.
