Coastline amenity improvement works
Beach shelter renovation project
We have completed renovation works to beachfront shelters across the district.
We've improved 8 beach shelters along the coast along Barton Cliff, Hordle Cliff, and Milford on Sea at Milford Promenade. These enhancements include vital structural repairs, the installation of improved and inclusive seating, accessibility features, and refreshed designs aimed at improving the overall visitor experience.
Local Information boards are being added to each beach shelter, as part of an additional phase of the renovation works. The boards will feature details about the geology, history, and community of each location, as well as informing visitors about nearby facilities. These works are due to be completed later in the year.
Before the renovation works took place, we asked residents to give their views about the beachfront facilities by completing a short online survey.
We received 722 responses, which helped to inform NFDC about what improvements would most benefit the community.
We were awarded £105,600 in funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) towards the beach shelter improvements. More information about the fund can be found on the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-shared-prosperity-fund-prospectus
Further details about how the UKSPF has benefited the New Forest is available on our website: https://newforest.gov.uk/UKSPF
Beachfront opinion survey
We're inviting residents to give additional feedback by completing a new survey, which will us to continue to both improve and maintain the facilities.
