Seafront public toilets have closed while work takes place.

Improvements to Littlehampton seafront between East Beach, South Terrace and Windmill Road are currently under way.

Plans include new toilets and beach showers, improvements to the car park, including electric vehicle charging points, walkways and new sustainable planting.

A new water play area and a pop-up marketplace off Banjo Road with four fixed stalls are also set to come to the beach.

Arun District Council has announced that the public toilet building has now closed to allow for construction, being carried out by Neilcott Construction, while temporary toilets behind the facilities are open.

The work is being funded by a £7 million levelling up fund from the government.

It is hoped the improvements will attract more visitors and boost the town’s economy.

The plans have been in discussion since 2016 and were consulted on in 2017.

The scheme was previously delayed by design and budget considerations.
