Creation of Beach Hub Facility

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The proposed scheme is to convert the existing deck chair store into a beach wheelchair store, and to construct a 4050mm x 4200mm (external) single storey pitched roof extension to create a beach hub facility.

The beach hub facility will be occupied by beach rangers who will administer the beach wheelchairs, and manage the information point and first aid point.

It will also be used a base and shelter and store for other groups such as the voluntary litter pickers.

Services to be provided to the buildings will be electricity, data and hot and cold water fed from St Annes Pier, but no foul drainage.

The project will also smooth out the steep section of ramp and produce a more compliant ramp, landing and handrail, as well as eliminating trip hazards inherent in the displaced and cracked ramps.

This will involve breaking up and renewing the existing concrete apron slabs.

It will also create a visually pleasing "flagship" beach hub building, with gablets and brightly painted metal cladding to resemble beach huts together with exposed beach pebble aggregate ramps in keeping with the existing finishes and traditional cast iron bollards and associated handrails, and refurbished brick walls.
