Local residents in Bognor have the chance to have their say on plans to renovate a public space in the town.

Arun District Council has successfully bid for funding to Coast to Capital, receiving a £1.2 million grant to transform Place St Maur.

The grant, which has been agreed in principle, will fund a project that the council says aims to "create a stronger connection between the esplanade and town centre".

Early plans include water jets, a new lighting scheme and new seating areas.

Councillor Samantha-Jayne Staniforth, Arun District Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, said:

“We are excited to be able to show these early designs to the public and would encourage everyone to have their say as your input will help to shape the final designs - and you could be a part of the history of the transformed space!

“As a resident of Bognor Regis myself, I know how keen we all are to see this space transformed. Your views are a key part of this.

"Let’s work together to bring a wow factor to Bognor Regis not just for residents, but for visitors alike. In turn this will help bring trade to our town and enjoyment for us all.”

The public consultation goes live tomorrow (February 11th) and runs until the 8th of March. You can view it here.
