Portsmouth's first accessible beach huts have been installed on Southsea seafront by Portsmouth City Council which says the event marks "a significant step towards inclusivity and accessibility at the beach".
Available for booking through its Seafront Services, these specially designed beach huts are equipped with amenities including a kettle, fridge, cupboard, deck chairs, and decorative items, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
Key features of the accessible beach hut include an accessible path leading down the beach towards the sea, and ramps providing entry from the promenade into the beach hut.
Laura
Collinson from the Accessible Beach Campaign group said: “I’m so pleased
that Portsmouth City Council have installed these accessible beach
huts. Our campaign group has been asking for better access and it’s
great to see the results. The shingle beach makes access to the water
extremely difficult but we are working towards making this happen with
the PCC seafront team."
Cllr Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council said: “It’s great to be able to offer these accessible beach huts. Through these projects we are making sure that when people need additional help to live their lives, it is there for them. This is a really important step into making Portsmouth accessible and inclusive for all."
