Have your say on Bognor's seafront

The public are invited to go along to the Methodist Church in High Street, Bognor Regis, between 9.30am and 6pm tomorrow (Friday, November 21) or between 9.30am and 4pm on Saturday, November 22, to see the initial proposals and to give their views.

Startling images of elephant sculptures, a pocket sandy beach and 'Jabba the Beach Hut' are just some of the innovative ideas being suggested for revamping the Bognor coastline.

Cllr Norman Dingemans, in charge of Arun District Council's economic and cultural development services, said he wanted as many people as possible to have their say about the proposals.

Cllr Dingemans added: "This area provides great opportunity for improvement, creating better links between the seafront and town centre.

"We are keen to bring new and high-quality features to the Bognor Regis seafront that will help build its reputation as an exciting and distinctive destination."

Those who go along to the consultation events will be able to see maps, plans and images of ideas and possible features that could become part of the seafront.

These have been produced for discussion following workshops with groups such as the chamber of commerce, Butlins, Bognor 21 and the town and parish councils.

The results of the consultation events will be used by the council, working with its consultants EDAW, to draft a seafront strategy that will be submitted to councillors for approval during the next couple of months. It will also play a part in the overall 500m regeneration programme of Bognor.
