Place St Maur

Place St Maur is an important public space close to the seafront in Bognor Regis. It was previously identified as being suitable for outdoor events and to make a stronger connection between the beach and town centre. The improvement project will create a high-quality and welcoming space for visitors to spend time in. Work began October 2021 and is set to be complete by Spring 2022.

There’s lots of work going on to progress the project and some temporary measures in place while we wait for materials to become available – a waiting game being faced by project managers up and down the country.

The difficulties being faced by the construction industry have delayed the delivery of some of the materials we requested but we will get there.

The main contractor is set to finish on site soon, at which point the water jets will be commissioned. To allow the space to be flexible for events all the pipes are already in place underground, so it’ll be all systems go once we get the green light. Watch this space!
