Seaford Lib Dem MP, Norman Baker has welcomed the news that Lewes District Council and Seaford Town Council have agreed funding to start work at Splash Point in Seaford.

The area was damaged in storms earlier this year, which led to Lewes District Council erecting fencing and gates to keep the public out, due to safety concerns.

Both Seaford Town Council and Lewes District Council have agreed £10,000 each to put towards these repair costs and once again open the area to local residents and visitors to the area.

Norman met with Greg Barker MP, Energy Minister and the Prime Minister’s Flood Envoy, this week at Seaford seafront where he raised the on-going issues of maintenance and repair at Splash Point, alongside the Leader of Lewes District Council, Rob Blackman and representatives of the Environment Agency.

Norman says: “I am pleased to hear that there is progress being made towards getting repair work underway at Splash Point and applaud Seaford Town Council and Lewes District Council for putting forward the money towards this.

“Having raised the on-going issues of Splash Point with Greg Barker MP today, I hope to find a long term solution to the continued maintenance and repair for the area.

“I hope these works progress quickly to ensure that this area is open to the public as soon as possible.”
