A week of ground investigation work as part of an ambitious project to transform part of Lowestoft seafront has started.
The next stage in the redevelopment of Jubilee Parade on Lowestoft’s seafront is now under way.
On Monday a drilling rig was being prepared on the upper esplanade and some exploratory holes were being made close to the balustrade wall.
The work was close to the north end of Kensington Gardens.
The cycle lane along the upper esplanade near the work site has been temporarily closed as fencing has been positioned around the drilling machinery.
The ground investigation work is part of a £4.9m regeneration scheme along Jubilee Parade and involves some work on the upper esplanade and lower promenade.
Once complete, the overall project will include a new two-storey building with a first-floor café, along with new showers, toilets, and a Changing Places facility.
The scheme has received £4.3m through the Government’s Levelling Up Fund and £600,000 from East Suffolk Council.
