An Eastbourne council spokesperson said this week, “New beach huts will be in place at Holywell from early 2019, following extensive work with the council’s insurer to find suitable replacements.

“This year’s Holywell beach hut tenants will have first refusal on leasing the new units for the 2019 season and we will be making contact with these leaseholders later in the autumn.”
