Shingle beaches are a barrier for those with limited mobility, disabilities or parents pushing a buggy. In East Preston, West Sussex, this means the beach is not accessible to many and a new project is going to change that.

Planning permission has been granted to install a boardwalk at the end of Sea Road in East Preston. It will start where the road ends and the shingle begins. At the end of boardwalk is a 10 x 3m platform; sitting above the high tide mark. A perfect spot to watch the sun rise or set ... and every thing else in between.

The aim is to build the boardwalk in Winter 2024, ready for Spring 2025.

Fundriasing has begun and nearly £20,000 has been raised already. This will pay for the foundation structure. A further £10,000 is needed for the remaining ‘decking boards’ and Public Liability insurance.
