Work is moving forward on the build of contemporary new beach huts (pictured above) on Lowestoft’s South Beach. The first delivery of components for the huts arrived just before the weekend and further deliveries will continue to take place each Thursday and Friday, followed by offloading the following Monday. This will happen for the next 7 weeks, subject to weather conditions.
Designed by architects Chaplin Farrant, the split-level beach huts will face partially south to ensure maximum sunshine throughout the day while the tips of the structures will face eastwards, reflecting Lowestoft’s position as the most easterly location in the country.
Cllr Craig Rivett, East Suffolk Council’s Deputy Leader and cabinet member for Economic Development said: “This is an exciting step in the project to build these bold new beach huts which will absolutely help Lowestoft to gain further recognition as a visitor destination. These huts, along with other regeneration projects taking place along the seafront, will help to attract visitors to the town, enhancing the local economy and the lives of local residents.”
The eye-catching new beach huts are expected to be completed in May. Of the 72 huts, 36 will go on sale, with the remaining 36 available for short term hire. For more details about buying a beach hut email lowestoft.beach@eastsuffolk.gov.uk
