Just before the Bank Holiday weekend, four signs were erected on the beach of the outer marina …
These are a much needed, and long-overdue addition to this area of Eastbourne’s Sovereign Harbour.
Residents have been campaigning for over three years about the need for signs like these to increase public awareness to the potential dangers of the boat lanes and especially the mud which is exposed at low tides…
