Multi-million pound revamp of Littlehampton seafront finally complete
Plans for the West Green were first submitted in 2017
A multi-million pound seafront revamp is complete in Littlehampton - years after plans were first submitted.
The £7.2 million proposals for the West Green were first drawn up in 2017.
The upgraded seafront now features a water play area for children featuring a water pump and fountains, a climbing wall, and new courts for beach volleyball, basketball, and even hammocks
Food and drink kiosks, run by local businesses have also been installed, while new accessible toilets, beach showers and seating areas are in place.
Solar panels have been installed as part of the project, and sustainable planting has been introduced throughout the site to support biodiversity and enhance the coastal landscape.
Some areas will be seeded in the autumn after the warmer summer season.
Leader of the Council and Chair of the Policy and Finance Committee, Councillor Martin Lury, said:
“We’re really pleased to have created a space that reflects what local people told us they wanted, while also making Littlehampton’s seafront more inviting for visitors.
It’s a place for everyone - families, young people, and older residents - to enjoy throughout the year.
"I’m proud of what’s been achieved and look forward to seeing the community making the most of The West Green.”
Minister for Local Growth, Alex Norris said:
“This transformation of Littlehampton's seafront shows exactly what can be achieved when government investment is combined with local vision and community support.
The West Green will be a brilliant asset for residents and a real draw for visitors, boosting the local economy whilst creating a space everyone can enjoy."
