MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Seafront accessibility improved with new beach huts

Source: City of Portsmouth

Available for booking through the Seafront Services webpage, these specially designed beach huts are equipped with essential amenities including a kettle, fridge, cupboard, deck chairs, and decorative items, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

Key features of the accessible beach hut include an accessible path leading down the beach towards the sea, and ramps providing entry from the promenade into the beach hut.

This initiative has been made possible through prioritising projects like this and the new sensory room at Exploria in the Council’s budget. This underscores Portsmouth City Council’s commitment to enhancing accessibility and fostering an inclusive environment for residents and visitors alike.

Cllr Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council said: “It’s great to be able to offer these accessible beach huts. Through these projects we are making sure that when people need additional help to live their lives, it is there for them. This is a really important step into making Portsmouth accessible and inclusive for all.”
