Summary
- Major pedestrianisation project in Eastbourne town centre is complete.
- New walkable route connects station to seafront, enhancing visitor access.

Eastbourne's town centre has been revitalized with a new, modern aesthetic following the conclusion of a significant construction project.

Key areas, including sections of Terminus Road, have been pedestrianised to facilitate this new walkable path.
Local authorities have acknowledged the temporary difficulties businesses faced during the extensive works. However, they emphasize that the completed project significantly improves town centre access and safety, aiming to attract more visitors and boost the local economy. Support, such as business rate relief, was provided to businesses impacted by the disruption.
