Planning permission has been granted for the upgrade to Littlehampton Skate Park on Sea Road.

The new concrete skate park will be constructed by Maverick Industries Ltd who specialise in the design of spray concrete skate parks. Floodlighting will be installed so that the skate park can be lit until 9pm during the winter months.

A new parkour training facility will also be constructed at the site.

The project is jointly funded by Arun District Council and Littlehampton Town Council with £50,000 grant funding from Sport England.

Construction for the new skate park is expected to start later this month.
