Latest: We have final designs and are currently awaiting the final planning application to be completed and considered.
Sovereign Skate Park is located on the seafront, behind the Sovereign Centre. Eastbourne Borough Council has been awarded £85,000 to refurbish the skate park.
Towards the beginning of the 2008/9 academic year, consultations took place with local skaters and other potential users of the skate park to find out what they would like to spend the money on.
According to our procurement procedure, we will shortly be placing an advert in the local press and a trade journal advertising for skate park constructors to show thier interest.
Interested contractors are then given an information pack which will include a criteria or brief to work to among other information. They will also be invited to meet with the consultation group to gain first hand views of what is required.
They will then design the Skate Park and the design most matching the criteria will be decided through a steering group comprising members of the council, officers and persons involved in consulation.
