Unit:

Project Title:

Seafront facilities improvements

Total Project Cost (All Years) £:

£140,000

Purpose, Benefits & Risks:

Refurbishment of seafront sports facilities and amenities.  The seafront basketball court is an extremely popular and free to use public amenity but now requires a full refurbishment. The playing surface has degraded to a point where if it is not replaced the court will need to be closed on safety grounds. Other projects which will also be funded from this capital request include installation of a Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) on the seafront to mitigate against surface water flooding and retaining sea wall to prevent shingle overspilling.
