It was installed by Staples & Son Seaford, in line with the new skatepark project, funded by a grant from Sports England, as well as donations from Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford Lions Club and through developer contributions.

Town mayor Nazish Adil said: “It is great to see the water bottle refill station fitted at the skate park.

“The Reusable water bottles can have a huge and long-term positive impact on the environment.

“Water refill stations are an easy way to start making a difference. Everyone, old and young can benefit from the facility.

“Seaford Town Council has provided us all access to a necessity more than a facility. We must use it with care and take responsibility of protecting the same.”

The station is the first of four that the town council plan to install, said a spokesman, with three more planned to be installed along the promenade.

The town council’s restaurant, The View at Seaford Head, also offers free water refills to visitors there.

A spokesman said: “As a plastic free community, this will be a positive step to encourage people to refill bottles rather than purchasing single use plastic, which has a huge impact on our environment.

“Alongside this, the town council has also recently fitted general waste and recycling bins at the skatepark with a mission to keep the area clean and encourage people using the Skatepark to take responsibility for litter.”
