The statement said it hopes the smaller building footprint and lower roof ‘will improve the views of the seafront and retain the open-feel of the promenade’ and that it is designed ‘to deal with the harsh marine environment and designed to stay looking as good as new’.
Councillor Gillian Brown, leader of Arun District Council and cabinet member for economy and policy, said: “We are fully committed to the improvement of Bognor Regis promenade. We know that both our visitors and residents enjoy spending time on the beach and we want them to have a good time, which includes providing them with clean, modern, accessible toilets to encourage them to return.
“Since the temporary toilets were installed earlier this year, we’ve had a lot of positive comments from beach visitors about what an improvement they are on the old ones, and we anticipate an even more positive response to the new toilets once they are in place next year.”
