A Vision for Seaford

“By 2030, Seaford will have made greater use of its coastal location through a regenerated seafront that is easily accessed from the town centre and key transport hubs, such as the railway station whilst providing a crucial amenity that supports and encourages healthy lifestyles. The retail provision on offer in the town will have been improved and used more by local people and advantage will have been taken of the opportunities presented as a gateway to the National Park. This will have included the improved provision of tourist facilities and accommodation that have widened the town’s economic bases, whilst maintaining the relative tranquillity of the town, as well as the heritage and marine assets, which are valued by residents and visitors alike.”
