29 July 2025
Neilcott Construction is nearing the completion of the Littlehampton seafront scheme. The new toilet block looks really colourful with all its doors now fitted. Symbols will be added to these, and final fittings are being fixed inside. Subject to tests and building control sign off it is hoped to open these to the public later this week. Once the new building is open the temporary toilets will be removed.
On the main site the final drainage connection has been made and, following successful testing and inspection, will mean completion is not too far away. The contractor is also tidying areas which could not be finished off while construction access was needed, including surfacing, shaping soil and cleaning. Signage is being produced containing safety and contact information.
We know people are keen to experience the new facilities so opening up the site is our priority. It is not the right time of year to establish grass seed so there will be areas, particularly around the edge, which will be seeded later in the year. The focus has been on getting the central area of the site ready for people to enjoy.
14 July 2025 additional update
Banjo Road has reopened to coaches this afternoon. Fencing will remain in place along the west boundary and around the concession kiosks until the rest of the project is complete.
14 July 2025
The project is now at an advanced stage, and we were pleased to invite Arun councillors to see progress for themselves last week. The water feature is currently being tested and working well, and site furniture is being delivered and installed. The brightly coloured toilet doors are being fitted and the internal finishes to the foreshore building are nearing their final phase.
Banjo Road is looking smart following resurfacing work and once the finishing touches are complete it will be reopened to coaches. The drainage connection system has been redesigned and is due for delivery this week. Selected areas of the site are being laid with turf to enable people to use them when the scheme is complete. Non-material amendment application LU/120/25/NMA has been submitted, to formalise changes made during value engineering and construction, which can be viewed once validated.
27 June 2025
The first phase of the new sewer connection is complete, and the traffic signals have been removed from South Terrace. The discovery of a brick obstruction below ground means an alternative design is needed to finish off the connection but this will not impact the road.
The site now has power which will enable electrical fittings to be installed in the buildings, lighting to be connected and work to begin on the final stage of the water play area. Inside the buildings the contractor will be plastering, decorating, and adding doors. Around the site, seating and bins will be installed and Banjo Road will be resurfaced.
A non-material amendment application is being submitted to the planning service to formalise changes made to the scheme during value engineering and construction.
13 June 2025
The current work to the drainage connection, at the junction of Banjo Road with South Terrace, is taking longer than anticipated due to an unexpected obstruction below the ground. The traffic controls will therefore be in place for a few more days to enable this to be completed.
Activity on the site progresses with low railing being installed along the edge of the car park and a windbreak fence around the volleyball area. The barbeques are back on site following their winter refurbishment by Littlehampton Town Council ready for when the project is complete. New picnic benches will soon be arriving, and bicycle racks will be placed in different locations around the site. You may have noticed brightly coloured safety surfacing appearing around the water play area, which will continue into next week when weather is dry.
Scaffolding has been removed from the foreshore building but work continues inside, and fencing is being installed around the yard area. The contractors have started to clear their site in Banjo Road, ready for new tarmac surfacing to be laid. Weather permitting the landscape contractors hope to complete the remaining planting within the next 2 weeks.
6 June 2025
With the half term school holiday approaching it is hoped that the overflow car park will be opened later this week, subject to inspection. On other parts of the site the cladding material is being attached to the outside of the foreshore building and some scaffolding has been removed. The protective coating to the exterior walls of the toilet block is nearly complete and tiling, plumbing and electrical work is progressing inside. The colourful doors will soon be delivered.
Surfacing has been laid in front of the concession kiosks and tree and shrub planting is continuing across the site. The base layer of the footpaths is being completed with the finished surface to be added at the end of the project. The safety surfacing around the water play area is expected to arrive in the next two weeks and work to make the drainage connection in South Terrace is planned to start in early June.
23 May 2025
Work to the overflow car park is complete and the car park has been reopened this afternoon, in time for the half-term school holiday. The whole car park is now available to use.
Phase 3 Spring 2025 to summer 2025
- contractor's compound remains in Banjo Road
- work to Banjo Road
- utility service work
- activity work to area and buildings

6 May 2025
The site team continues to advance their work at the seafront, with various trades focused on different parts of the scheme. The overflow car park is nearing completion, with some finishing off tasks to be carried out before it is opened. The area in front of the concession kiosks has been set out and planted with trees, with planting also continuing on the rest of the site. Tarmac surfacing of footpaths is due to take place next week. A protective coating is being applied to the external walls of the toilet block, and internal wall and floor finishes are progressing. Solar panels have been attached to the foreshore building, and cladding of the external walls will soon start to take shape.
21 April 2025
Neilcott Construction are continuing to work quickly in all areas of the seafront site. Work is progressing on internal areas of the toilet block and the roof of the foreshore building. The new link path from South Terrace has been constructed and lighting bollards will be installed in the coming weeks. Additional tree planting will be carried out and grass seeding will commence, including seeding of the overflow car park.
7 April 2025
The recent good weather is helping progress on site with more of the overflow car park surface laid, the installation of the basketball area and pétanque courts as well as the forming of the concrete climbing wall. Work has started on constructing the roof of the foreshore building, and the four new concession kiosks have been delivered.
Some trees have been planted, and more will be added as different areas become available. Work will also begin on the internal finishes for the toilet block.
With the Easter holidays arriving, a plan has been produced to help people find alternative car parking if the seafront is looking busy. Please see our Littlehampton car parks page for further information. Plans with information will also be displayed within West Green car park, and many of the town centre car parks are just a short walk away.
28 March 2025
The tarmac area of West Green car park has reopened following resurfacing this week and is ready to welcome visitors ahead of the Easter holidays. Neilcott Construction is continuing their work to improve the overflow area of the car park.
21 March 2025
The seafront is a hive of activity with different parts of the project really taking shape. The toilet block roof is complete and following checks to make sure it is waterproof the scaffolding will be removed. The next step will be to start work inside the cubicle areas. The main structure and brickwork of the foreshore building is nearing completion and then work can begin on the roof. The water play sub-contractor is working on the final stages of the circulation system so that it is ready when the water and electrical supplies are connected.
During the coming weeks, the contractor will finish laying the surface crates and soil in the overflow car park ready for seeding. Lamp posts will also be installed, and concrete will be poured to create the climbing wall structure. The four concession kiosks are due for delivery in early April so that service connections can be made. ADC's Property and Estates team is seeking final expressions of interest for the kiosks from operators who need to submit offers by 11 April 2025. Details can be found via this link: Commercial property to let.
Please remember that West Green car park will be temporarily closed from Monday, 24 March to Friday, 28 March for resurfacing work. Alternative on-street parking will be available on Windmill Road, South Terrace and Arun Parade, or within East Green car park on Sea Road. Affected seasonal permit holders have been contacted directly with information about parking arrangements.
13 March 2025
Work is due to commence on Monday 24 March and the contractors are hoping to have this reopened on or by Friday 28 March, subject to completion. Parking is still available in Windmill Road, South Terrace, and Arun Parade. Harbour Park and Windmill Entertainment Centre will be open as usual.
10 March 2025
The project to transform a stretch of Littlehampton seafront is progressing well, with the roof of the new toilet block now in place ready for a waterproof covering to be added. The next step will be to construct a curved wall for the exterior of the shower area. Scaffolding is now in place around the foreshore building to allow the upper walls to be built. The excavation and kerbs are nearing completion in the overflow car park allowing the gravel layer and crate system to be laid. Progress is being made in the activity area with the construction of the pétanque court, the concrete base for the climbing wall now installed and the base layer of pathways also in place.
A review of the older tarmac surface at West Green car park has shown it to be in a poorer condition than expected and it will require resurfacing and relining. As a result, we will need to close the car park for around four days later this month to get the work done as quickly as possible, with the intention of getting it operational in time for the Easter school holidays.
Alternative on-street parking will be available on Windmill Road, South Terrace and Arun Parade, or within East Green car park on Sea Road. Affected permit holders will be contacted directly by our car park team with information about alternative parking locations and arrangements. Signage will be displayed in the car park and social media updates will be issued when dates for this work are confirmed.
5 March 2025
We are aware of several comments on social media about the width of footpaths at the Littlehampton seafront scheme. The new scheme is creating much improved access to an open space which was previously quite uneven and had just one main footpath leading from the road to the promenade. When the scheme is complete it will provide several access routes of varying widths which connect all the new activities and provide easy movement across the site which the design team, led by LUC Landscape Architects, has confirmed are compliant with accessibility requirements. These are shown in green on the plan.
There are two smaller entry ways, shown in blue, which previously led onto the grass area, and have been designed as informal play features with stepping stones.
24 February 2025
The contractors have now started work on improvements to the overflow car park. When the ground has been dug out to the correct levels, a new surface will be laid which allows the grass to grow through it. Wall construction is also underway at the foreshore building and the beginnings of a roof can be seen on the toilet block. Concrete has been laid in the water feature pools by a specialist sub-contractor and electrical connections are being made in the plant room. At the south of the site, earth banks have been formed.
14 February 2025
Work has progressed well at West Green car park, Littlehampton and we are pleased that part of the tarmac area has now reopened for public use, in time for the half term break. Over the coming weeks there is still some work to be completed but this should cause minimal disruption. Next week Neilcott will begin work on the overflow car park improvements.
7 February 2025
The first phase of work to improve West Green car park is nearing its final stage. Tarmac will be laid in the northwest corner, and the remaining surface will be cleaned so the parking bays can be marked out. Once complete this area will be opened for people to use. Tree and shrub planting will be added later in the season. The second phase of work will see improvements made to the overflow parking area and is expected to begin later this month.
There is plenty of activity happening across the site. Walking past the toilet building you can now see the individual cubicles and wall insulation being installed. In the activity area, the plant room has been delivered which will contain the water feature pumps, and stone boulders will be arriving soon to create additional interest in the pools. Preparation for footpath edging is also underway.
The Neilcott Construction site team is working hard to get the job done and we think they deserve a big shout out for braving the recent wet, cold and windy weather.
Ours property and estates team has started the process to seek tenants for the four new kiosks in Banjo Road. Expressions of interest need to be submitted by 7 March 2025. See commercial property to let.
23 January 2024
Improvement work at West Green car park is progressing well. The concrete surface at the north end has been removed and kerbs are being installed to mark the new layout. The utility company UKPN has undertaken their work to install the electrical supply in Windmill Road for the toilet block. This was carried out earlier than expected. The toilet building walls are growing taller by the day and scaffolding will soon be needed to construct the top layers.
Over on the seafront green, pipework has been laid for the water play area and the pool shapes are being finalised ready for concreting. The structure which will contain all the machinery used to pump and clean the water is due for delivery next week. Work will also be starting on the new footpath which links South Terrace with the promenade, just east of the car park.
10 January 2024
Work is back in full swing after the Christmas break with the installation of site storm drains and water supply for the new facilities. Neilcott Construction will also be completing the laying of around 1,500 meters of underground pipework, needed to carry all the electrical cables across the site. Next week it is expected that that brick laying will begin at the toilet block and foreshore building and scaffolding will be put up.
Temporary repairs have been made to the overflow area of West Green car park to enable the tarmac area to be closed off for improvements. The overflow area is being kept available for public use until the tarmac area is complete. If the condition of the overflow car park becomes unsafe due to poor weather, it may need to close for a period.
People walking along the promenade will be able to check out our new notice board which displays design information, a plan of the car park phasing and latest news updates.
24 December 2024
Neilcott Construction is starting work at West Green car park from week commencing 6 January. Work will be carried out in two phases to make some parking available for public use. During phase one, visitors will enter the car park in the usual way but will be directed to park in the overflow area, while improvements are made to the tarmac area. Phase one is expected to take approximately 2 months and includes installing lighting and creating the new layout. The overflow car park will be monitored during this time and may need to close during poor weather.
The second phase of the car park work will upgrade the surface of the overflow area with grasscrete and will begin when the tarmac area is complete.
The council offices will close for the Christmas break at 4pm on Tuesday 24 December and reopen at 9am on Thursday 2 January. For any emergencies relating to the Littlehampton Seafront project site during this time, please call 01903 737500 where the out-of-hours message will signpost you to the service you need.
12 December 2024
Groundwork and building foundations continue at Littlehampton seafront. Neilcott Construction has completed the steel frame which forms the base of the new toilet block, ready for the concrete pour. The area for the concession kiosks has been dug at the south of Banjo Road and the beginnings of the water play area are also being excavated. Pipework is being laid to connect the different parts of the water feature.
In the lead up to Christmas, some areas of West Green car park will be temporarily fenced off to allow shrub clearance, in preparation for construction work to begin in the new year. West Green car park will be available for visitors to use over the Christmas period.
28 November 2024
This week, the sight of an unusual piece of machinery drew small crowds of people to watch concrete being poured for the base of the new foreshore building. With this in place, the contractor will be starting to build the walls of the building. The toilet block has seen great progress with multiple drainage pipes installed and is ready for the concrete base to be laid. Other activities which will be taking place include preparation work to the car park, further drainage across the site and pipework for the water play feature. The car park phasing is being reviewed with the contractors and an update will be given on this soon. It is expected the main area of West Green car park will remain open until early January.
14 November 2024
If you have visited the seafront recently, you will have seen the mound of excavated soil material growing each week. Some of this has been dug out to make space for the water play storage tank which is in position and ready to be secured. The remaining soil has come from the ongoing work to lay services and construct the foundations for the new buildings. Neilcott Construction continues to check existing utility service locations against survey plans as they work through each area.
30 October 2024
The demolition of the toilet block is now complete and Neilcott has been working to sort and remove the different materials from the site.
Once the area is clear, work can begin on digging the foundations for the new buildings. Other activities you may see underway will be trench excavations for new drainage pipes next to Banjo Road and the digging for the water play storage tank.
24 October 2024
The dismantling of the old toilet block in progress.
18 October 2024
In preparation for the demolition of the toilet block, the fixtures and fittings have been removed and asbestos has been cleared for safe disposal. The building will start to be dismantled from next week, with all materials separated out for recycling. The temporary toilets are open for public use and are close to the existing toilet block. A project update will be given at Policy and Finance Committee on 24 October.
4 October 2024
In the last week you will have seen boundary fencing being set up to mark out the construction site and cabins delivered to Banjo Road. Neilcott Construction has started to clear their working area and is installing the utility connections needed to carry out the work.
The next stage will involve carefully removing asbestos as well as taking out fixtures and fittings from the toilet block, before the building is demolished. The toilet block is now closed in preparation for this work and temporary toilets are open for use close by.
September 2024
Preparations have been taking place on the seafront ready for the main work to begin. You may have seen that the temporary toilets are now in position and utility service connections are being made to get these ready for public use. Storage has also been delivered for use by the land train during the construction phase.
This week Neilcott Construction will begin to secure their working area with fencing. Banjo Road will be unavailable to the public from Monday 23 September to allow the site compound to be set up. Signage is ready to be displayed to divert coaches to a temporary drop-off point in Sea Road.
If you have concerns about site security, public safety or noise disturbance, while the work is taking place, a telephone number for Neilcott Construction will be on the site signage. For all other queries about the project, you can email Project.Team@arun.gov.uk.
August 2024
Improvements to Littlehampton seafront are expected to begin in September. The summer holiday period will be kept free of construction work, but you will see some activity in late August to install temporary public toilets, so that these are ready when the main work starts.
The contractor is finalising phasing plans for the construction work, and these will be made available on our website when they are ready. There will be an opportunity for the public and businesses to find out more about the construction work at a 'meet the contractor' drop-in session. This is being held on Wednesday 14 August at the Windmill Entertainment Centre between 4pm and 7pm. For anyone unable to attend they can email questions to project.team@arun.gov.uk. A summary of commonly asked questions with responses will be displayed on the project webpage following the session.

Proposals for Banjo Road and marketplace
Banjo Road which is accessed from the South Terrace has 4 spaces for coach parking. The existing curved area to Banjo Road has been reconfigured to a square layout for coach parking and turning areas, with space for another 12 coaches. An outline of the Ferris wheel area is shown in the coach parking area. To the south of the coach parking, there is a grid of tree planting called a marketplace. To the south of the trees and north of Stage by the Sea there are 4 permanent concession stalls. There is new planting shown along the west side of Banjo Road, with routes through for pedestrians. There are footpaths leading off to the west to link with the activity hub. The Stage by the Sea is shown as being retained.
Photos showing design inspiration:

- temporary stalls for events, along with a fixed concession unit offering refreshments
