The construction of a carpark off Aston St has had to be postponed. Brighton and South Brighton Coast Care is working with the Pier Liaison Group to manage the pier. The Library building is taking shape and the temporary stairs have been moved to make way for the construction of a reno mattress. This has been installed on the sea side of the building to provide protection from storm wave activity. It is designed to absorb wave energy rather than allowing storm activity to erode sand away from the site.
Work is underway to investigate classifying the present recreation reserve as a scenic reserve.
Sumner and Scarborough Work is being carried out on the Cave Rock Landscape Plan to make the area more user friendly with more picnic areas and better access to the beach. Plans to extend the promenade at Scarborough, from Scarborough Fare Restaurant to Scarborough Rd are complete. Work is due to start after Easter. The new carpark at Taylors Mistake has been opened although Coast Care is still working on finishing it off. It has coped well with summer pressures.
