Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) has selected Morgan Sindall for its Kingsway to the Sea regeneration project through its local development framework.
The plans, which secured planning permission in December 2022, centre on new leisure facilities including a 600 sqm roller skating area, a multi-use sand sports area, four padel tennis courts, a skate park and a 150-metre-long ‘pump’ track for bicyclists.
A new outdoor sports pavilion next to the bowling greens will include public toilets, changing rooms and a café. It will be the new home for Hove & Kingsway Bowls Club.
Guy Hannell, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the southern home counties, said: “Being a business that is based in Brighton and having members of the team who live across the city, we understand first-hand the importance of regenerating the West Hove seafront, as it plays such a pivotal role in the community.”
Councillor Martin Osborne, co-chair of Brighton & Hove City Council’s tourism,
equalities, communities and culture committee, said: “The development of this scheme has been a joint effort involving community groups and local people. The mix of new outdoor facilities proposed reflects what most residents have told us they want to see. This is a golden opportunity to provide people of all ages with a range of sport and leisure opportunities as well as creating a new must visit destination for Brighton & Hove.”
