Shoreham Beach boardwalk gap set to be filled

Promenaders’ calls of “mind the gap” are set to be a thing of the past as workers complete work to the £100,000 Shoreham Beach boardwalk.

The walkway was installed by Adur District Council in 2011 as a way to improve access on the pebbly shore.

But work had to be halted when it was claimed a short stretch of land was privately owned, leaving a gap of about 20 yards between the two sections.

After three years of confusion and disappointment to those with limited mobility, Adur and Worthing councils’ joint strategic committee agreed earlier this year to set aside up to £25,000 to finish the work.

This morning, contractors were spotted on the beach meaning within days it could be complete.
