A brand new footwash is going to be installed on North Prom ahead of the summer season.
Funded by TransPennine Express, the footwash design has been created by Blackrow Engineering, who have also done the recycling sculptures along the sea front.
It will be located opposite the ramp entrance to the railway station, near the steps to the beach at that point.
From Monday 19 May there will be a closure of a section of the footpath on the beach side of the road. This closure will be followed by the Anglian Water works in early June to get the water supply pipe across the road and install a water meter curbside.
A council release stated these works will be done under traffic lights, and the installation will be commissioned for use ahead of the summer season.
Cllr Hayden Dawkins, Cabinet member for tourism, said: “This is something several businesses have been calling for on the North Prom. Foot washes help keep business premises clean, as well as being useful for families and beach goers. We have a wonderful beach, and this will be a great asset.”
