Eastbourne to get a new entrance archway

The plans have been approved at a recent meeting for the archway to be constructed at Victoria Place

An artists impression of how it will look once installed has been shared. A spokesperson for Eastbourne BID stated: "The street will feature a Victorian arch at the top, heritage lampposts and seating, awnings for the businesses and a colourful artwork at the seafront end.”

The joint project between Eastbourne Borough Council and East Sussex County Council is possible thanks to a £19.8 million grant from the government’s Levelling Up Fund.

It's said that the area will become more attractive, vibrant and will improve the connection from the town centre to the seafront
