Southwick Square

Our new-look Southwick Square

We revamped Southwick Square in 2023 to make it a more welcoming and accessible place for our citizens, visitors and traders.

Using around £600,000 of West Sussex County Council funding and £80,000 of our money, our contractors transformed the seating and park area by the east parade, on time and on budget.

Out went tired signage, concrete steps, outdated walls and paving and overgrown bushes. In came new, attractive landscaping featuring drought-resistant trees, new seating and lighting for pedestrians that is more environmentally-friendly.

The square now features a larger open space for performances, markets and cafe seating. A time capsule has also been installed to mark the redevelopment. 

The area is now brighter and easier to get around for all of our citizens, with a more modern and sustainable look and feel.

It went from this, in 2022:

And now that the new planting has taken, it looks like this in June 2024:
