New Information Boards help put Sovereign Harbour on the map!

Sovereign Harbour is often described as Eastbourne's best kept secret with visitors not realising it exists. I regularly recommend people to go and enjoy the waterside walks, sample the many eateries and take in the boating life and everytime it takes people's breath away.

The largest man made Harbour Marina in Northern Europe is a fantastic boast for our town and could be a big draw for tourists if it was more widely known. My former colleague and Councillor for Sovereign, Pat Bowker was instrumental in getting the promenade extended past each development up to the end of the North Harbour at the Borough Boundary with Pevensey Bay and my current colleagues and I never miss a chance to bang the drum for Sovereign Harbour.

However, congratulations must now go to my ward colleague, Cllr Gordon Jenkins who has managed to add two further Tourist Information boards to the planned nine when he spoke at a recent Planning Committee. Sovereign Harbour now features prominently on each board and the picture below shows one of Gordon's extra boards near the lock gates next to the Wild Bird Information Board which ward Councillors contributed towards recently from their Devolved Ward Budget.

Well done Gordon!
